The iSchools Organization is happy to announce that the Faculty of Management at Dalhousie University, Canada, joined the iSchools at the Basic Level.
Dalhousie University’s Faculty of Management offers graduate programs including the ALA-accredited Master of Information (MI) (which can be taken with a thesis, or as a combined degree paired a degree in law (JD), environment (MREM), business (MBA), or public administration (MPA)), the MSc Business with an information systems concentration, the PhD in Information, the PhD in Management, and the Interdisciplinary PhD. Undergraduates can declare a Major in Managing Data and Information, and all Dalhousie undergraduates benefit from a suite of information-focused electives. Alumni work across sectors in Canada and around the world, from libraries and archives to government, healthcare, and the private sector.
Dalhousie provides a student-centered, research-intensive environment with close faculty mentorship and strong ties to national and international partners. Students benefit from flexible program delivery, interdisciplinary learning, professional development training, and applied, work-based experiences through practicums and client-facing projects. Faculty members are most frequently appointed to the Department of Information Science and/or the Department of Management Science and Information Systems.
Located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and situated in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq, Dalhousie information scholars are part of a diverse academic community committed to advancing the study and responsible practice of information in society.
The iSchools organization was founded two decades ago with roots dating back to the late 1980s. The iSchools educate thought-leaders of the future, and their researchers focus on enhancing the lives of people, the productivity of companies, the innovation cycles of industries, the design of technologies, the policies that govern technology and information use, information services to communities, and much more. The iSchools organization currently consists of more than 130 iSchools worldwide.
