Where custom learning drives purposeful progress.
With a Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in information science, you'll learn essential skills to work across specializations, adapt, and thrive in the AI-powered tech industry. You’ll tackle real-world problems, build implementable solutions, and design an individualized, forward-thinking curriculum to shape you into an indispensable innovator that leading companies need more than ever.
With AI spanning across the curriculum, four optional focus areas offer specialized training in user experience, data science, interactive technologies, and networks, crowds, and markets, while the program’s linchpin MPS Project course is a hands-on, collaborative experience where student teams conceptualize, design, and implement solutions for client companies, non-profits and agencies.
Interdisciplinary learning that works for the real world.
Lavanya and Ananya, MPS ’26 explored AI, analytics, and the ethics of technology to shape the future where innovation and people intersect. In the Master of Professional Studies (MPS) program in Information Science, students learn essential skills to work across specializations, adapt, and thrive.
Work with clients to drive change.
The MPS program stands out due to being very hands-on, giving its students special opportunities to work closely with real clients on projects that have an immediate and real-world impact. This experience applies across several industries, most importantly as technology continues to transform many fields.
