Information Science explores how computing intersects with human values, culture, and interaction. It goes beyond building technology to examine its real-world impact, adoption, and integration into everyday life.

Beyond the build.
In Information Science, we examine the interplay between people and technology — how tech shapes individual lives and society, and how computational methods help both.
