MSI Degree: Practical Engagement Program


The Practical Engagement Program (PEP) combines knowledge and skills to solve specific information problems in professional settings. PEP enables -- and requires -- you to couple what you have learned in the classroom with what you observe and experience elsewhere.

You need to earn at least six of your 48 MSI credits as practical engagement credits (a.k.a., "PEP points"). These may be earned in a variety of ways. Several SI courses include a practical engagement component and earn you PEP credits. You may also earn PEP credits via approved, credit-based internships. The School assists you in finding summer internships that can earn you PEP credits.

Learn more about the practical engagement component of an MSI degree in the Fieldwork: Practical Engagement Program section of this site.

Program requirements on this page are current for the 2007-2008 academic year.
