iLearning: Prepare Information Leaders and Innovators

L3. Curriculum Review—Review and improve the existing curriculum for each academic program
Vision Graduates are prepared to assume leadership roles or function as innovators in their given field. Faculty deliver courses that reflect the integrity of the course inventory to insure the quality and consistency of instruction. Course inventories do not excessively overlap in content. Faculty excel in teaching. All academic programs as a whole are the size and structure that best reflect the strengths and expertise of the faculty community. These programs leverage the school's strengths in Library and Information Science, Information Management, and Human-computer Interaction.
