The Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in Information Science is an interdisciplinary program that prepares students for successful careers in information science. Students have the opportunity for study with faculty members who are leaders in their field. Capstone projects involve students in finding solutions to real world problems, providing experiences that can apply directly to jobs after graduation.
Cornell's Information Science MPS allows each student to individually tailor a unique skill set for their career goals, such as user experience design, data science, interactive technology, and networks and markets. Our flexible curriculum allows students to develop strong technical skills and an in-depth understanding of the social and behavioral aspects of information technology. Students can choose from all the courses offered at Cornell during the program. Each MPS student can map a course of study particular to the career goals that student is hoping to achieve. MPS students gain practical experience by putting their new skills to use in semester-long projects.
