Students in the MLIS and Informatics programs work on projects across two quarters (January to June). 

Students in the MSIM program are able to work on projects across two quarters (January to June) or one quarter (January to March or June to August). 

Please select "one quarter" if your project can be completed in ten weeks (one academic quarter), which equates to approximately 600-800 total work hours. These hours assume a 3-4 person group.

Please select "two quarters" if your project can be completed in twenty weeks (two academic quarters), which equates to approximately 1,200-1,600 total work hours. These hours assume a 3-4 person group.
