Student experience
Enrolment for the MIS program is limited, and students enjoy the benefits of small class sizes and personal attention from our faculty. Because ÉSIS is a relatively small department within uOttawa, students at ÉSIS develop a special sense of community. This feeling permeates the classroom, student lounges and is exemplified by the active ÉSIS student's association.
