Trying to get a focus on your career goals? Many students find it helpful to look at job descriptions in order to help define the type of position they intend to seek in the future. For the MSIT-SM program, the faculty advisor has provided a job description (PDF) as one example of the type of positions for which graduates will be qualified.
