The Advanced IS Student Laboratory is available exclusively for students in advanced IS courses. It provides students with access to the latest hardware and software and allows students to network with each other to learn more about the field, and more about being successful at UM-St. Louis.

Most IS classes are taught in advanced technology classrooms, which provide a computer for each student thereby allowing extensive hands-on-work during the class period.

They are also used to distribute announcements about employment opportunities, scholarships, curriculum changes and IS developments.

These mentors work at a variety of companies in the metropolitan area. The Advanced IS Student Laboratory is supported exclusively by corporate gifts.
