Offering opportunities to organizations from all industries that seek impact and access to University of Michigan School of Information students
Client-Based Courses (CBC) and Programs
The School of Information has a rich history of connecting organizations with high-caliber students who deploy their developing knowledge and skills to address real information challenges. Guided through a curriculum that acknowledges that real-world challenges are provided only by real-world organizations, students engage in client projects to both provide benefits to the client organization and to enhance their skill sets.
Organizations from all industries and sectors are invited to propose information-based projects for students to work on through capstone projects, client-based courses, and programs. Most courses and programs occur during the academic school year, September through December, or January through April. Select opportunities occur over the summer months (May through August) or in shorter sessions throughout the year.
