Computer Science and Informatics graduates work primarily in two market sectors. One includes software and computer industries, from small start-ups to giants such as Microsoft, Yahoo!, and Intel. These offer job opportunities in software development and design, user-interface development and design, systems analysis, web development, and other areas.
Another sector consists of organizations whose primary business is not computing, such as banks, insurance, and other financial groups; health care organizations; consulting, media, and legal firms; entertainment companies; and the military.
Internships are strongly encouraged for Computer Science students and often lead to full-time employment after graduation. Recent graduates have had internships with companies such as John Deere, Collins Aerospace, Cerner Corporation, State Farm Insurance, Pearson, Intel, Amazon, and Microsoft-all of which have strong, long-standing relationships with the department.
As many as one-third of the department's graduates go into research or elect to pursue graduate studies in Computer Science, Business, or other areas for which Computer Science provides a strong foundation.
