Not all computer science courses are offered each semester. Students should, therefore, keep a copy of the course schedule pattern to ensure not being caught short at graduation time. The internship program in computer science is designed to provide work experience while the student is still in school, to coordinate job experience with academic training, and to help the student make the transition from the classroom to the job.
Students receive pay from their employers during the internship as well as academic credit.
Interested students should consult the university catalog for further details or see Dr. Mack Thweatt . See also CSCI 491 in Course Descriptions . Cooperative Education Cooperative education in computer science is part of the MTSU Cooperative Education Program. Students generally alternate periods of work with periods of study in a computer science field. Students receive academic credit for their work periods and are paid for cooperative work by their employers.
