It is possible for qualified students accepted to the MIS program to be hired anywhere on the UIC campus in a graduate assistantship. This requires an independent job search and is not a function of the Graduate Programs office. Early submission of application and assistantship request is encouraged, especially for the University Fellowship competition. An application for graduate appointment has been included in the application packet. The program may be initiated in any semester, but fall or summer is preferred.
Deadlines are important and are strictly observed.
Due to processing time for evaluating international documents and issuing immigration documents, it is advised that international applicants apply one month before the published international deadline. Full-time tuition begins with 12 hours. There is no tuition increase for additional hours. Students are not allowed to take more than 16 hours per semester. Additional hours must be approved by the Director of Graduate Studies for Management Information Systems.
