UNCG has announced a new bachelor of science in information studies – the second degree program of its kind in North Carolina – set to launch in the fall of 2019.
This new, multidisciplinary program blends coursework from library and information studies, computer science, geography, information systems/supply chain management, and education research methodology to prepare students to work for a variety of organizations that handle data and information systems and need to leverage this information for decision making.
The program consists of three focus areas: management, maintenance, and design of information systems; training, development, and user education; and geographic information systems.
