*People. Information. Technology.*

The information sciences focus on helping people to discover better
information, design and use better technology, and make better decisions to
solve problems. Whether those problems are in business, medicine,
education, the arts, or any number of other fields, information
professionals are able to grapple with the challenges and opportunities of
the digital age.

i3 welcomes students from all majors and academic disciplines. The
information sciences are incredibly diverse and interdisciplinary. With so
many different specializations, students can find a program that meets
their interests.
