Minnesota Career Information System!
MCIS is a web-based college and career readiness tool that
helps students explore career and college options and build
school course plans.
Each student has a personal account with a unique login and
password. In 7th grade, students use the Learning Styles
Inventory to learn more about their personal learning
preferences and to tie these to useful study tips.
