在这里学什么？

Informatics is the study of human and computer information processing systems from a socio-technical perspective. Michigan's unique interdisciplinary approach to this growing field of research and teaching emphasizes a solid grounding in contemporary computer programming, mathematics, and statistics, combined with study of the ethical and social science aspects of complex information systems. Experts in the field help design new information technology tools informed by scientific, business, and cultural contexts.

Informatics is where the technical accomplishments of computer science, mathematics, and statistics become embedded in the ways we interact, imagine, and produce in richer and more thoughtful ways. Students will obtain software development skills and learn a formal framework for making inferences from experimental and observational data, focusing on the manner and purpose in which people interact with information and information systems.

The major in Informatics is appropriate for students with varied interests and a range of background knowledge in information systems engineering, information analysis, and/or the use of information processing in biological, societal and emerging application areas. Students who complete the major are equipped to participate fully in important emerging areas such as bioinformatics, information analysis, large-scale information management, and human-centered information systems design. In addition, depending on which track a student selects, he or she develops the intellectual skills

to analyze enormous quantities of information (Information Analysis Track); to apply information technology to large-scale, cutting-edge problems in the life sciences (Life Science Informatics Track).

Students concentrating in Informatics have many opportunities available to them after graduation. The major provides excellent preparation for jobs in the IT industry as product managers, human factors engineers, usability specialists, information analysts in sciences and science related industries, and designers working with large software development teams. Recruiters visiting the university frequently are seeking students with the ideals and skill sets that are provided by this program. Combined with work in specific knowledge domains, from nursing to economics, graduates of Michigan's Informatics major are vital in leading organizations to harness emerging technologies. The deep understanding of the connections between information technology, data analysis, and organizations and society is also excellent background for students seeking to enter law school, business school, medical school, or schools of public policy. And, depending on the track they complete, students are well prepared for graduate study in many fields, including statistics, computer science, information, law, medicine, public health, and natural and social sciences.

In pursuing the major in Informatics, students have the flexibility to specialize in one of two tracks: Information Analysis or Life Science Informatics. Each of the tracks requires three to four courses, some of which will have associated prerequisite courses enforced at registration. The tracks consist of a set of carefully chosen courses that together convey the necessary intellectual perspectives and foundational skills of the track.

In addition to the major's core and track requirements, students select major electives from a list of recommended courses. The breadth of electives will allow students to add intellectual depth to their selected track studies or to broaden their perspective on other aspects of the informatics field. The Faculty Steering Committee for the major will entertain appeals from students to substitute elective courses other than those in the list of recommended electives.
