Student Organizations
CBM student organizations offer opportunities to apply classroom learning, develop leadership, and network with professionals.
The UIS MS in Management Information Systems program gave me the perfect balance of technical depth and business perspective, equipping me with the foundation needed for a professional career in the software domain.
The Master of Accountancy program at UIS provided a supportive and personalized learning environment that helped me grow both academically and professionally. Smaller class sizes allowed for meaningful interactions with professors, who were invested in student success.
What I appreciated most about the MIS program at UIS was that it didn't just teach theory from a textbook – it focused on practical problem-solving. Completing graduate certifications in Project Management, BPM, and Machine Learning gave me the technical foundation I needed.
I graduated from the University of Illinois Springfield in 2007, and I did not yet know what I had been given. Almost twenty years later, I am the Director of Strategic Initiatives at Veeam, and I can still trace a lot of what I leverage back to a classroom in Springfield. The accounting was real.

The MIS program at UIS was more than a degree-it was a turning point. The coursework delivered a rigorous, well-structured, and practical education that perfectly balanced technical skills with a clear understanding of how information systems support real organizational goals.
I think a good synopsis of the MBA program at UIS would be that the level of care that the professors have for their students, and their work is unprecedented from what I have seen in higher education. Professors consistently ensure that they are available outside of the classroom and are very responsive.
The University of Illinois Springfield shaped the way I approach complex problems as a consultant. The Master of Science in Management Information Systems program challenged me to think strategically, solve difficult problems, and approach every opportunity with curiosity and confidence.
