What are the information sciences?

We help people to discover better information, design and use better technology, and to make better decisions. 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.

The iSchools Caucus

The iSchools Caucus is an international consortium of information schools dedicated to advancing the information field in the 21st century. The member schools share a focus on the intersection of people, technology and information. Now including over thirty schools and colleges in seven countries, the iSchools offer students an array of degree programs and specializations.

Interdisciplinary by definition

Because information is so central to every academic and professional field, the information sciences are incredibly interdisciplinary and diverse. Information professionals push boundaries and make connections. iSchool faculty members often collaborate with colleagues in other schools and colleges for research and teaching purposes, and that translates into students being able to take advantage of a wide variety of classes and projects that build valuable experience.
