New Information Science Undergraduate Major Officially Launched! | |
|
The Information Science major is housed within the Information School (iSchool) and is a part of the School of Computer, Data & Information Sciences (CDIS).
As a Computer Sciences student, adding the Information Science major would serve as a path to learn about ethics, policy and social impacts.
The flexible design of the major allows it to be used to complement other majors/certificates. It explores the intersection between technology and human values. You will work with people to gain insight into the ways individuals and societies use information and data, while learning to develop equitable information and data systems.
Here is a sample Sample 4-Year Plan for Computer Sciences and Information Science majors.
There are no minimum grade, GPA requirements or specific courses that must be completed to declare. Please see the Information Science webpage for advising information and further details: https://ischool.wisc.edu/programs/undergraduates.

Career Tips from L&S Successworks!
Be sure to check out the Technology, Data, and Analytics Career Community for some AMAZING resources!
Applying to jobs can sometimes feel like throwing resumes into a black hole - nothing ever comes out, not even feedback!
A great way to make yourself stand out in the job search process is to attend Employer Events. Employers want to connect with students; they’re dying to hear about your experiences and your interests. At Employer Information Sessions, the hiring managers are literally just waiting to talk to you.
In addition to making a personal connection, Employer Events give lots of valuable info about how to best apply for a job.
- What skills is the employer looking for?
- What are some things the employer absolutely wants to see (or doesn’t want to see) on a resume?
- What is the interview process like for this employer?
These questions and more can be found in these events.
Arm yourself with knowledge -- use Handshake to search upcoming Employer Events today!
Check out the Successwork's career community for Technology, Data, and Analytics for more great resources!
