Welcome to the College of Information, Data and Society! Previously known as the College of Professional and Global Education, our name reflects the academic units within the college: the School of Information (iSchool) and the Department of Applied Data Science (ADS). This connection highlights the significant impact of these departments on society. The College of Information, Data and Society offers interdisciplinary and forward-looking academic programs that prepare students to address the world’s increasing challenges around analyzing, managing, protecting, securing, designing, organizing and preserving data, information, records and archives through technology-oriented, user-focused practices and solutions.
