ACMS at the University of Notre Dame provides so many opportunities and resources for students to succeed throughout their graduate career. For instance, research services such as priority computing and access to all major academic journals as well as professional development assistance through workshops, travel grants, and fellowship/grant writing consultations. These resources further strengthen the ACMS culture to pursue whatever career path the graduate student desires within academia, industry, or government. I have not heard of many departments with as much job diversity as this one.

The best part is the department’s encouragement to graduate students to take on internships, workshops and teaching experiences over the summer. It really helped me personally decide between a career in academia or industry and gave me the experience to successfully acquire a job upon graduating.
