Internships and Cooperative Education

Internships and cooperative education assignments provide valuable "real world" work exp Professional Development courses (CIS 1920 and CIS 3920) help prepare students for the experiences. Students gain credit for internships by enrolling in CIS 4942 and cooperative by enrolling in CIS 4949.

Work experiences in the field of computing greatly enhance a student's employment prosp Therefore, the department encourages internships and cooperative education work experi majors. Major corporations, federal agencies, and state agencies actively recruit CIS majo summer internship internships (8-12 weeks) and for semester-long co-ops. Student work e however, must be planned in advance, recognizing that internships or co-ops that occur du school year may delay completion of the CIS degree. Outside Minors and Concentrations for CIS Majors

A number of minors is possible and compatible with the CIS majors. In many cases, cours already required for the major can be credited toward such a minor. In addition to the busi students in the Business Option may minor in Health Information Management. Students i Science Option may minor in Mathematics by taking 18 hours of mathematics courses at t and 4000 level; a minor in Physics is also possible with this option. Students may also min Computer Education. This minor involves an additional twenty-one hours of education cou leading to Florida teacher certification in computer science, grades K-12.

For further information on these or other minors, including specific course requirements, c University General Catalog, or contact the chair of the applicable department.
