----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Indiana University has recently introduced a Master of
Information Science (M.I.S.) degree program. The
program educates professionals to create, organize and
manage information effectively in diverse environments. It
appeals to people working in information-related jobs who
want to accelerate their careers and to people with arts and
sciences undergraduate degrees who are interested in
careers in information management, systems analysis and
design, online searching and information brokerage,
competitive intelligence and research analysis, network
management, and database development and marketing.
An important goal is to educate talented people so that
they can be among the leaders of the information
professions in the next century. Our M.I.S. graduates are
prepared to take up responsible positions in both the
public sector and private sectors.
This degree differs from the typical Masters degree in
computer science or business because it teaches
information system analysis (including Internet
technologies) and design with a strong focus on behavioral
and social analysis. The school, equipped with a new
Usability Laboratory, also emphasizes experimentation with
and evaluation of information technologies. Students can
choose among five major emphases, including Internet and
Network Services, Information Retrieval, Information
Architecture and Design, Systems Analysis and Information
Organization and Management. Indiana University's M.I.S.
degree program is offered in both Bloomington and
Indianapolis.
Indiana University is a leading research university with a
175-year tradition of excellence. The School of Library and
Information Science consistently ranks among the top
programs in the U.S. The school s energetic, accessible
faculty were recently ranked number one in the nation in
scholarly output in information science.
