Why informatics?
Informatics, or information science, is a field of study focused on using information, data and knowledge in society and across academic disciplines. It considers how information is produced, stored, organized, classified, disseminated and preserved. It also analyzes how technical and social information systems function and the role that information systems play in the lives of individuals, communities, and our global ecosystem.
In the minor in informatics, you will develop essential information and data literacy skills for functioning in our digital world.
