The highlight of the program is an industry-sponsored semester-long project for a new or existing information technology product. Projects will have an information technology aspect, such as data science, user-centered design, or databases, and a business aspect such as marketing or business strategy. Examples of projects include building a prototype mobile app, improving dashboards with information visualizations and analytics, and making recommendations for the company’s technology operations, social media strategy, or business strategy based on internal and external data. Interdisciplinary project teams consist of a mix of Johnson MBA students with Information Science MPS students enrolled in the program. The project will provide you with the education to work on a real-life problem faced by a company and thus prepare you to excel at your future careers and summer internships. Focused activities will allow students to practice soft skills such as public speaking, team dynamics and leadership through the project work.
