Welcome to the Information School at UW–Madison
A founding department of the School of Computer, Data & Information Sciences, the Information School (iSchool) is focused on education and research that expands society's understanding of the role of information in all aspects of science, nature and humanity.
We educate students and pursue work that adds to the collective knowledge, productivity and innovation, and to the well-being of people, communities, and society.
