Informatics is all about seeking human meaning in a world of data. It is how we find, process, protect, and share information. It encompasses journalism, cybersecurity, public relations, business analytics, artificial intelligence, and much more.

Fast computation on massive data made mobile and social has changed our lives. Informatics is all about those earthshaking changes. 

But it goes beyond that. Information is personal, organizational, and global. It is the cold logic of computer code, but it is also the passion of persuasion. It is logic on fire.

We built our college on the radical premise that breaking a few silos would yield growth and innovation. That has happened.

Our Data Science program was the first in the world to be ABET-accredited. We are an NSA/DHS Center of Excellence in Cyber Defense Education and offer an accelerated online master’s program in Cybersecurity designed to meet the needs of career-changers. Our Journalism program and the independent student newspaper The Northerner partner with to advance local news coverage. Our media students bring their documentary filmmaking skills to countries from Guatemala to Sri Lanka.

And Informatics, where computation�������ٲ���communication, is the epicenter of artificial intelligence.

������an outward-facing college, we bring media and tech talent to companies, local governments, and K-12. Many of our degrees have built-in experiential “outside the classroom” components. Our students are winning awards, competitions, and hackathons, and are graduating into the world with that special “informatics” edge. 

No matter what your interests or background, come join us as we explore and create.
