What is MIS Senior Project: Our graduating MIS majors work throughout the senior year in student-led teams on information system development projects in local organizations. Each team serves as an external consultant and has total responsibility for all phases of systems development. This capstone experience gives our student the opportunity to apply everything they have learned in MIS, other business disciplines, written and oral communications, project management, team management, and other areas.

This year we have 5 projects. The following are brief descriptions of each project:
