i have more than 7 years of experience working in IT from non IT background, i can correlate to your wife situation, the only difference is i learned coding despite non technical background n she didn't having degree in information systems.

i assume there are many universities in the US where u get graduated having no coding skill at all. Our company once hired an Indian guy who graduated from startford university Virginia as a consultant, he was fired after 2 wks because he failed to demonstrate basic excel skills (transferring data form excel sheet to other system).
coming to your wife , its very hard to find a job without consultancy. if u want to work in IT u cannot skip coding. rather jumping to internship she needs a boot camp coding at least 3 months. c can find QA/BA job every now n then but having masters in IT i would rather call these jobs as labor intensive jobs, even these jobs needs automation and basic coding skills.
rather than finding a job now, stay home for 6 months learn basic coding from YouTube n then join consultancy . YouTube is ultimate guru . coding is so much fun after 3 months of dedicated practice. i was in your wife situation, everyone hates coding in the beginning, but it will be fun after sometime. our mind is designed in such a way that if you practice something for prolonged time it will adopt. there is very less or no future in IT without coding. if she really hates it, i think changing profession is better option for example nursing . but for now motivate her to code, should not be a problem. Progress is impossible if you are not challenged in life
