Get an internship, make connections with the IT department, with all of your professors and any alumni you meet. I got a job offer from one of my internships and an alumnus but ended up working at the company that did the back office software for my college (a connection through people in that department).
One more story: my friend who went to business school (and got a business degree) ended up getting a full time job with the IT department and is still working there today. He started as an entry level programmer and is currently a business analyst.
