The IST view of information is broad, multidisciplinary, and  
practical. IST continues to evolve as an innovative leader in  
educating information professionals in the twenty-first century,  
combining high quality teaching and research in a broad,  
multidisciplinary, and collaborative environment. We offer three BS  
degrees, three Masters degrees, and the PhD. The MS(LIS) degree is  
highly ranked, both overall and for specializations in information  
systems and digital librarianship within the MS(LIS) degree; faculty  
and student interests span a broad spectrum of library and  
information science areas. IST's systems-related curricula (MSIS,  
MSSE) are particularly strong in databases, data mining/information  
visualization, and human-computer interaction. Full-time PhD students  
are supported either through faculty research grants from the  
National Science Foundation, the Institute for Library and Museum  
Services, and other funding agencies or while performing other  
research or teaching related activities in the College.

All programs emphasize applied research, with a tradition of both  
quantitative and qualitative research that encourages  
interdisciplinary activity. We consider experience in industry a plus.
