*What are the Information Sciences?
<https://ischool-inclusion.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=65eabcd18688f466b823cb93c&id=498d898a47&e=324ed23d65>*
*People. Information. Technology.*

The information sciences focus on helping people to discover better
information, design and use better technology, and make better decisions to
solve problems. Whether those problems are in business, medicine,
education, the arts, or any number of other fields, information
professionals are able to grapple with the challenges and opportunities of
the digital age.

i3 welcomes students from all majors and academic disciplines. The
information sciences are incredibly diverse and interdisciplinary. With so
many different specializations, students can find a program that meets
their interests.

*Research Project Publications*
i3 Scholars work remotely to complete their yearlong research projects
under the guidance of an advisor. Once they complete the program, i3
Scholars are encouraged to submit their projects for publication at
academic conferences. 54 i3 projects have been published in conferences
such as iConference, CSCW, and IEEE SeGAH (a sample of past projects is
listed below):

   Occupy Wall Street Social Movement
