AQ Difference |
| |
| Students earning a CIS or MIS degree at Aquinas encounter abundant internship and full-time job opportunities. Even in an economic climate where many entry-level graduates find it difficult to job-search, our graduates are finding many opportunities; they are often hired before graduation. Area job fairs, online postings, personal networks, and, of course, Aquinas’s excellent Career Service referrals are all good methods of job- and internship-hunting. Other options for graduates are to continue on to pursue a Master’s of Science in an IT-related field. |
