University of South Florida School of Information

egree. In the past few years we have broadened our scope to include two new degree programs: a B.S. degree in Information Studies, and a M.S. in Intelligence Studies. Both of these degrees are STEM-based and help meet an increasing demand for "next generation" information professionals who are technologically acute and can apply critical and analytic skills to support the mission of various types of organizations. At the heart of the School of Information is a shared focus on humans as central to information systems, services, and technology, and on the critical role of understanding how people interact with information in myriad forms. Our students serve communities throughout the state, the nation, and the world in libraries, government agencies, and a host of other information centers and contexts. Our faculty explore a host of research and scholarly issues ranging from the role of the library in the public sphere, to health informatics, to the organization of knowledge and archiving. Moreover, we are committed to being engaged with our communities and other professions, and we value interdisciplinary research that can inform best-practice as well as contribute to the knowledge of our broad discipline.
