CSCI 404 Internship in Management Information Systems

(Formerly MAT 404) 

3 hours 

This course gives students the opportunity to work directly with experienced administrators in city, state or federal agencies and to learn firsthand the role of information sciences in the agencies of the criminal justice system. Students normally work one day per week (120 hours per semester) in the agency, gaining experience in computer applications in the public sector. The classroom seminars and diary conferences allow the student to understand the roles computers play in management and decision-making and to exchange experiences and gain insight into the workings of a number of different agencies. Placements are available in a broad range of these agencies.
