CIO University

The iSchool is one of only six academic partners in the U.S. General Services Administration’s CIO University. As a founding partner, we offer graduate level programs that directly address more than a dozen core competencies that have been identified for federal sector Chief Information Officers. All of the iSchool’s students who graduate from our Executive Master’s in Information Management program qualify to receive a chief information officer certificate from CIO University when they graduate. This diploma enables our graduates to hold leadership positions within the federal information technology community.

Associate Professor Jeffrey Stanton's newest book, Information Nation: Education and Careers in the Emerging Information Professions, discusses the barriers preventing many U.S. students from succeeding in the growing information technology market, as well as potential career paths and educational tracks available to up and coming students in the industry.
