Bachelor of Science in
Information Resources (BSIR)

The cutting-edge Bachelor of Science in Information Resources (BSIR) degree provides students with a quality interdisciplinary education while preparing them to effectively use information resources and technology.

Students entering the field of information technology will develop an array of skills related to:

• Information storage & retrieval (from the web, databases, CDROM, DVD and print resources)

• Internet applications (using multimedia and other emerging technology tools)

• Technical jargon  - making information accessible and relevant to clients

• Information architecture

• Training (knowing how to demonstrate, analyze and synthesize computer software)

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Information Resources has developed a collaborative degree program with the UW-Colleges that enables students to complete a fully accredited UW-Milwaukee Bachelor of Science degree in Information Resources while completing requirements for UW-WC's Associate Degree of Science Degree at the same time. The second half of this degree is completed online.
