Information Systems

is.hss.cmu.edu

Information Systems, one of the most popular majors in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, is designed for students who want to understand and solve information and technological problems. Many students have particular interests in the social sciences, including economics, organizations and policy.

Others are interested in problems of communication and design of systems with particular interests in multimedia and the human-computer interface. A third group is interested in the use of information systems for knowledge discovery, data mining and data analysis. Students should be technically oriented but should be more interested in the many dimensions of the information problems and solutions than in the details of the hardware, software and networking of the systems themselves. Graduates of the Information Systems program often take jobs in consulting companies, major information companies, large corporations and start-ups.
