Capstone Experiences

Students in the MS in Information Technology program have a mandatory Capstone Course to complete in their final semester before graduating from the program.

The MSIT Professional Advisor works alongside each student to ensure that their capstone experience – internship, research project, thesis, or a professional development course – meets their academic and professional goals.

Internship

Internship helps students to apply their classroom experience in real-time working environment to gain professional experience that acts as a foundation in building up their further career. Internships are paid/unpaid and it depends on the organization that is offering the internship.

Research Project

It helps you in preparing your own project applying the concepts and skills you gained from your course program. It involves writing thesis, explanation and publishing the project.
