Alumni reflect on their experiences upon entering the work force:
“I had no technical background, so I thought I couldn't succeed in the program. Dr. Hale encouraged me to look into it. I went to the MIS forum meeting, and I was sold by the support and commitment from industry. Since joining this program, I know that I can go anywhere! I have grown as a leader, a project manager, and a problem solver. I have learned that exceptional performers don't have all the answers; they know how to systematically move forward toward a solution with what they do have. Thanks this program, I am confident that I will succeed as a business process consultant!”

“The MIS department at The University of Alabama was a very challenging discipline. I believe that the professors caringly pushed all of us to reach further than we thought possible. They provided a firm understanding of how organizations of all sizes and cultures work. School projects went beyond ‘toy-problems’ to simulate real-world work projects, which in turn helped me to jumpstart my first project at Exxon. All these factors taken into consideration, I can say that I was confident that I would succeed in my career when I graduated from the University.”
