Student Spotlight
Shea Belsky (Info Sci - CALS '18, MPS '18)
Shea – a past president of the Information Science Student Association and now a developer at Wayfair – talks about the skills he learned as an undergraduate and graduate student in Cornell Info Sci.
Information Science offers a Bachelor of Science (BS) in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS). The BS in Information Science (IS) allows students to study the design and use of information systems in a social context. The field studies the creation, representation, organization, application, and analysis of information in digital form. The focus of Information Science is on technological systems and their use, approached through an interdisciplinary approach with a variety of methodologies.
Learn more about Info Sci's admission requirements through CALS via the Admission Requirements page.
The Degree Requirements page details the program's core courses, programming and math requirements, its seven concentrations, and approved electives.
Students must meet certain criteria for good standing at the end of each semester. See the Criteria for Good Standing page for more information.
Students in Information Science should follow the CALS Social Sciences guidelines to obtain research honors in Information Science. To learn more about these guidelines, see the Honors Requirements page.
