Host a student project

Client-Based Courses 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 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 co-curricular programs.
