Careers
Students planning careers in industry should seek training and internship opportunities early and often to experience practical applications of classroom knowledge and to enhance marketability in the workforce. Our partnerships with other universities and within industry provide excellent resources for MSCS students seeking career and professional development.

Internship Network in the Mathematical Sciences (INMAS) Heading link
INMAS provides training and internship opportunities to math PhDs seeking jobs in business, industry and government (BIG). Professional and technical training programs prepare students for matching internship projects, while INMAS interns bring mathematical expertise to help increase productivity and profitability in partnering organizations. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation, INMAS is sponsored by the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and Johns Hopkins University. Among several universities in the Mid-Atlantic Network and the Midwest Network, the Math Alliance (representing underrepresented students in mathematical or statistical science) is a participating member.
INMAS offers training programs in Python coding, statistical learning, data science, modeling, and optimization. Participating MSCS graduate students will be matched with INMAS internship hosts in industry or government, or sometimes other organizations such as non-profits or scientific labs.
