The i3 iSchool Inclusion Institute is a program created to increase student diversity in all graduate programs at Information Schools and to encourage those students to consider academic and professional careers within the Information Sciences.

There are many career opportunities in the Information Sciences field and I can tell you that the Master of Science in Information Studies that we offer here at UT drastically increases the marketability of students who enter our program with all kinds of undergraduate majors.
