University of Washington - The Information School - Ph.D. in Information
Science
 
The Ph.D. in Information Science offered by the Information School of
the University of Washington prepares information scientists who can
develop theories, teach, research, advocate, lead, write, and make
original and meaningful contributions to the information field. Students
in the program learn not only to identify critical problems and
rigorously research their solutions, but also to effectively communicate
those solutions to a broad audience.


Our doctoral students seek theoretical and empirical explanations for
information phenomena from the perspective of an information scientist
and with a human-centered approach - a focus on information and people. 
 
The program comprises coursework, practica, and dissertation components.
The curriculum is organized around three conceptual areas, building upon
the strengths and expertise of our faculty:


*	Library and Information Science 
*	Information Management & Policy 
*	Design and Information Technology
