The University of Michigan School of Information (UMSI) or iSchool in Ann Arbor is a graduate school offering a (Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science in Informatics ) (administered by the College of Literature, Science and the Arts), a (Bachelor of Science in Information ), a (Master of Science in Information ), a (Master of Health Informatics ) (offered jointly with the School of Public Health), and a (Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Information ). Its field of study is information: how it is created, identified, collected, structured, managed, preserved, accessed, processed, and presented; how it is used in different environments, with different technologies, and over time. The school's stated mission is: "We create and share knowledge so that people can use information -- with technology -- to build a better world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.si.umich.edu/aboutsi/history-and-mission )〕 " Its slogan is "connecting people, information, and technology in more valuable ways." The School of Information is part of a growing list of i-schools devoted to the study of information as a discipline. These institutions have varied histories, some being newly created, others developing from earlier schools or departments focused on library and information science (as with SI), computer science, communications, or information technology. SI was the first of these institutions to relabel itself as a "school of information." It is currently housed in the North Quadrangle on the University of Michigan's Ann Arbor campus. In 2008, the School of Information, College of Literature, Science, and the Arts and the College of Engineering unveiled a new undergraduate major called Informatics. In 2011, the School of Information and the School of Public Health announced the creation of a master's degree in health informatics. In 2014, the School of Information enrolled its first students for a bachelor's degree in Information.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.si.umich.edu/newsandevents/press/umsi-plans-new-undergraduate-degree )〕 ==Undergraduate degree== Since 2008, the University of Michigan has offered a bachelor's degree in Informatics. Informatics is housed in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts in cooperation with the College of Engineering and the School of Information and gives students a solid grounding in information systems, statistics, mathematics and computer programming.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://informatics.umich.edu/informatics/about )〕 Students are able to specialize in one of five tracks: Social Computing, Data Mining & Information Analysis, Computational, Internet, and Life Sciences. Depending on the track chosen, students are prepared for many career paths, including business, research, government, computer programming, education and non-profit organizations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://informatics.umich.edu/informatics/curriculum )〕 In 2014, the School of Information announced that it would begin to offer an undergraduate degree, with students pursuing this degree graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Information (BSI).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.si.umich.edu/academics/undergraduate-degre )〕 Due to this change, it was decided that the Social Computing and Computational tracks of the Informatics program would be phased out, with the final class of the degree graduating in May 2015, as the BSI program would be teaching similar concepts. In August 2014, the "First Class" of BSI students began their learning in this new program, under the direction of director John L. King. Students in this program complete a series of core courses and electives, as well as courses that allow them to graduate specializing in either ''Designing for the User Experience '' or ''Information Analytics''. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.si.umich.edu/programs/bachelor-science-information/degree-requirements )〕 This interdisciplinary degree focuses on the social/behavioral and technological sciences. Students will takes classes in mathematics, communications, statistics and history,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.si.umich.edu/newsandevents/press/umsi-plans-new-undergraduate-degree )〕 and upon graduation will successfully compete for jobs in science, business, government, education, technology, and entertainment. Graduates looking to continue their education are encouraged to continue their studies in graduate programs. Students graduating with a BSI have the tools and know-how for a successful future in companies and nonprofit organizations such as Facebook, Apple, Cisco, Microsoft, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Deloitte, Bank of America, Google, National Public Radio, and the Smithsonian Institution. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.si.umich.edu/programs/bachelor-science-information/career-outcomes )〕 High school students may apply to this program "preferred admission" when applying to The University of Michigan, or students already enrolled at The University of Michigan may apply to transfer into the program beginning in their Junior year. The goal of the BSI program is "To build a community of students who are diverse and multi-dimensional, self-starters who will contribute both in the classroom and in the field" and look for students with strong transcripts that reflect good grades and appropriate course selections, engagement with community and/or campus organizations, and demonstrated leadership capacity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.si.umich.edu/programs/bachelor-science-information/bsi-admissions )〕 Graduates of this program will come out with at least 120 University of Michigan credits, at least 60 of which are upper level and of which 45 are offered by the School of Information. Three core courses are required for the program: ''Agile Web Development'', ''Models of Social Information Processing'', and ''Information Environments and Work'', and are supplemented with elective courses in topics such as graphic design, eCommunities, persuasion and social influence, cyberscience, and the history of the Internet.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.si.umich.edu/programs/bachelor-science-information/degree-requirements )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of Michigan School of Information」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
