Bachelor of Science in Information Resources

Welcome! Growth, change, opportunity, and dynamism characterize information-related careers. The cutting-edge Bachelor of Science in Information Resources (BSIR) provides you with a quality interdisciplinary and cross-functional education, giving you an understanding of how information is sought, organized, manipulated, repackaged, and applied in a variety of settings. Building on a general undergraduate education, the BSIR introduces issues related to information science, information architecture, human factors in information seeking and use, information storage and retrieval, and applications of the internet.

The program notably allows students to develop significant interests in other fields of study by choosing associate areas of study, normally minors in fields such as computer science, business, health care administration, international studies, among others. Join our students, take advantage of our dedicated and internationally respected faculty, and tap the resources of one of the country’s great urban research universities by entering a program that will prepare you for a career in our increasingly information-oriented society.
