An Interdisciplinary Learning Environment
The iSchool at Syracuse supports a “faculty of one” and does not have traditional academic departments. This culture encourages collaboration in interdisciplinary research and collegiality among the faculty members, resulting in a supportive environment conducive to cutting-edge research and quality education. The school has a diverse faculty, with its 45 full-time members holding academic degrees in communications, computer science, economics, education, information science, library science, management, political science, psychology, public administration, and telecommunications. They teach across the academic programs.
Likewise, students from all of our graduate programs take classes together. This exposes them to new perspectives and broader applications of information theory and structure. Our information management and telecommunications and network management students incorporate the service-oriented nature of the library science field, and our library and information science students graduate with the technical and management skills to be leaders of tomorrow’s libraries.
Our curriculum meets the specifications of the Association for Computing Machinery, the Association for Information Systems, and the Society for Information Management. Our library and information science program is accredited by the American Library Association.
