Currently offered: Spring 2008: Day/Evening (3), Online (1) Summer 2008: Online (2) Fall 2008: Day/Evening (3), Online (1) Description: This course blends the reflective nature of the seminar setting with the challenges of a final integrative project that can take on one of three forms. For those interested in an internship, most of your "out of class time" will be spent "on the job" in a real-work experience. If you prefer a project, you can take on a task for an area business, alone or as part of a team. If you prefer to "capture" your learning by developing a portfolio of your four years of work then you can assemble your own student portfolio to carry with you into the work force and throughout your career. Regardless of which you choose, you will be well supported in your efforts when you, your faculty advisor and your peers in weekly team meetings, work collaboratively and analyze current business issues. Internships should be no more than 100 hours throughout the semester.

Credits: 3 Prerequisite(s): MIT-500 Currently offered: Spring 2008: Online (1) Description: Today there are special legal issues that affect all aspects of information technology management.

However, the growth and evolution of IT has changed the depth and breadth of this law and old practices and standards no longer app
