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.
