Internship programs offer a way to bring in fresh perspectives, create a pipeline

Program (CMPS 400) allows CS/IT students to engage with companies looking to provide
experiential learning opportunities for a semester. These paid interns work 20 hours per
week for fall/spring semesters and 40 hours during the summer.
