Master's Degree
The Master of Science in Information (MSI) degree is a 48-credit hour professional degree built on a core curriculum of "foundations" courses that synthesize content and methodology from library and information science, computer science, the humanities, and the social sciences. Real-world engagement is a hallmark of the master's program: all students are required to complete internships or mentorships in the field.
The MSI program is highly interdisciplinary, featuring faculty from a wide range of academic fields. It draws students from diverse undergraduate majors, ranging from the arts and humanities to science and engineering.
Master's students may specialize in the following areas, or opt for a self-designed curriculum under the guidance of a faculty member.
- Archives and Records Management (ARM)
- Community Informatics (CI)
- Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
- Information Economics for Management (IEM)
- Library and Information Science(LIS)
- Information Analysis and Retrieval (IAR)
- Information Policy (IPOL)
- Preservation of Information (PI)
- Social computing (SC)
- School Library Media (SLM)

Famous quotes containing the words master and/or degree:
“Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations.”
—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
“When the world was half a thousand years younger all events had much sharper outlines than now. The distance between sadness and joy, between good and bad fortune, seemed to be much greater than for us; every experience had that degree of directness and absoluteness which joy and sadness still have in the mind of a child”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
