A leader in information science education and research
From the undergraduate Information Science major to the PhD in Information, our interdisciplinary programs prepare the next wave of library and information professionals for a rapidly changing world.
Welcome to the Information School at UW–Madison
A founding department of the College of Computing & Artificial Intelligence (CAI), the Information School (iSchool) is focused on education and research that expands society’s understanding of the role of information in all aspects of science, nature and humanity.
We educate students and pursue work that adds to collective knowledge and fosters productivity, innovation, and the well-being of people, communities, and society.
