College of Informatics
The LIN program teaches our students skills and concepts to find, organize, analyze, and manage information. The program develops responsible information consumers, disseminators, and creators who can effectively navigate the ever growing and increasingly complex information landscape. The curriculum includes courses on searching interfaces, information storage and retrieval, ethics, trends in information science, and information literacy.
Professional positions for LIN graduates include library paraprofessionals, information services managers, and online researchers. Graduates work in a variety of settings, including libraries, corporate information centers, research divisions, government agencies, public service institutions, and more.
