    The Master of Information Management and Systems (MIMS) program educates information professionals to provide leadership for an information-driven world.

    The Master of Information and Data Science (MIDS) is an online degree preparing data science professionals to solve real-world problems. The 5th Year MIDS program is a streamlined path to a MIDS degree for Cal undergraduates.

    The Master of Information and Cybersecurity (MICS) is an online degree preparing cybersecurity leaders for complex cybersecurity challenges.

    Our Ph.D. in Information Science is a research program for next-generation scholars of the information age.
