"John was one of the original IS students at Marietta College. He really believed in the tool sets that the major had to offer and the variety of jobs he could do with these skills."

"The biggest advantage is having a professor with real world experience. The IS professor's consulting experience is what really got me interested in the field. After my first IS class I was hooked. I always loved to create websites and e-solutions, so this was the perfect fit. "

"Information Systems (IS) is a very good major for students who want to seek a career in consulting type of business, especially in technology consulting firms such as Deloitte Consulting, Accenture, and IBM."

"Without a doubt, the opportunity to publish in a refereed journal as an undergraduate greatly helped my chances in getting into the IE/OR program at Penn State. While at Penn State I found that the rigorous math background from Marietta College had prepared me very well, and I was more than prepared for the coursework at Penn State. "

"Marietta College prepared me wonderfully for life beyond graduation. This fall will mark the beginning of my fifth year as a mathematics graduate student at Duke University. I'm presently working to complete my thesis in applied mathematics on the fluid dynamics of thin liquid films. "
