Basic Members Directory University of Colorado - Boulder Department of Information Science Basic United States of America North America Member Since 2016 Visit School About Welcome to the Department of Information Science. Love people? Love technology? You’ll fit in perfectly. Information science is the study of the relationships between people, places and technology and how they are intertwined. Our data-driven, interdisciplinary approach—drawing on social science, computer science and the humanities—allows students to develop the conceptual understanding and practical skills needed to succeed in a future characterized by new ways of working, communicating and creating. A degree in information science enables students to imagine what technology makes possible, invent new ways to use technology and positively impact the world. Housed within CU Boulder’s College of Media, Communication and Information, our department is proud to cultivate an inclusive community of scholars who share a commitment to excellence and innovation in research and teaching. Our research program is exceptionally strong in human-computer interaction, data science and social and collaborative computing, and our faculty expertise covers a broad range of areas including information visualization, machine learning, technology ethics, health informatics education and learning and more. Students can pursue bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees, as well as minors in both information science and data science. We welcome graduate students from a range of backgrounds, such as computer science, social science and quantitative research. Many of our graduate students participate in cutting-edge research labs and build community by joining the INFO Graduate Student Association. Undergraduate students can take advantage of our Bachelor’s Accelerated Master’s program (BAM) to seamlessly earn both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree. They have opportunities to work on real-world research projects with faculty and graduate students and can join our INFO Buffs club to find a friendly group of passionate peers with similar interests. iSchool Contacts Bryan Semaan Information Science Department Chair Information and Communication Technologies Contact Robin Burke Interim Information Science Department Chair Recommender systems Contact Contact

This iSchools virtual mobility program enables students at participating iSchools in Europe to cross national boundaries, develop intercultural competence, and participate in exciting programs specifically tailored for the online environment. Back to EU Region Virtual Student Exchange Please note: The virtual exchange program is paused for 2026. This iSchools virtual mobility program enables students at participating iSchools in Europe to cross national boundaries, develop intercultural competence, and participate in exciting programs specifically tailored for the online environment. Developed in response to the COVID pandemic, the program has the added benefit of eliminating the financial barriers of travel and local housing costs; students will pay no additional fees beyond their normal home-school tuition. The program complements the European Erasmus program, and credits will transfer seamlessly across participating schools. We believe this program will help build a cadre of students who have studied together at multiple schools, thereby bringing a broad European perspective to information science. The virtual exchange program is currently intended for master’s-level students at the following participating iSchools. Current Exchange Courses Students can use the table to view exchange courses currently offered at each participating institution.

The School of Information creates knowledge and advances practice wherever people interact with information and technology. Our research explores the implications for individuals and society as information and digital technologies are increasingly embedded in all aspects of human experience. Our professional master’s degrees prepare students to design and build the systems that will shape the way humans live and interact in the future. Our research and teaching are interconnected; both are urgent, because our understanding of the consequences for individuals and society of their interactions with information and machines remains critical, contentious, and inadequate. Achieving our research and educational mission requires the interdisciplinary collaboration of scholars with expertise in information and computer science, social sciences, the humanities, law, policy, and design. We depend on close ties to practitioners from the public, private, and philanthropic sectors. We provide rigorous multi-disciplinary education for our master’s and doctoral students, as well as introductory courses for undergraduates interested in this field. < Back The School of Information creates knowledge and advances practice wherever people interact with information and technology.

SIM is committed to develop interdisciplinary talents and professional leaders in information management. As a key school supported by the National "985 Project" and "211 Project", SIM has been consistently ranked the first in the field. The predecessor of SIM was the Books Division of Boone University at Wuchang, which was established in 1920 and became an independent specialty school, namely, the Boone Library School at Wuchang in 1929. In 1953, the school merged into Wuhan University and became the Department of Library Science of Wuhan University. In 1984, it was approved by the original Ministry of Education of China (MOE) to be renamed as the School of Library and Information Science of Wuhan University. In 2001, its name changed to the School of Information Management of Wuhan University. In the development for more than 90 years, SIM believes that "Pioneering Creation, Pragmatic Entrepreneurship, and Leading Innovation" should be the notion for teaching. Several research areas in SIM are in the leading positions in China. Especially, “The library, Information, and Archives Management”, as a primary subject, has been identified as the key primary subject in Curriculum Assessments organized by the Ministry of Education (MOE). SIM consists of five departments, namely, Department of Library Science, Department of Information Management Science, Department of Archives and Government Information, Department of Publishing Science, and Department of Electronic Commerce.
