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)
