Quality Input from Industry

The MCS faculty strive to build ongoing, mutually beneficial relationships with the business community. A business advisory board meets twice a year to review MCS programs and discuss university/business cooperation. MCS faculty members provide training and consulting services in areas of specific technical and managerial expertise.
