Master of Information Studies (Bilingual)

University of Ottawa

The School of Information Studies, located in the Faculty of Arts, offers a graduate diploma in Information Studies and a Master of Information Studies (MIS).

Full-time or part-time students in the Master of Information Studies (MIS) degree complete seven compulsory core courses in their first year of study plus a capstone experience course in their final semester.

The master's program offers three options to complete the 48 units required for the MIS degree. The three options include a course-based option, a thesis option, and a co-op option. Please note that the co-op option is available to full time students only, and that there are a limited number of work placement spots available to SIS students each year. In all cases, a minimum of 25% of the courses must be completed in the second language.

Graduates of the MIS program are prepared to take on many exciting career opportunities as controlled vocabulary specialists, digital curators, information architects, knowledge management analysts, library directors, metadata managers, privacy analysts, records managers and web content managers, to name just a few.
