The Syracuse University School of Information Studies, also known as the iSchool, is a center for research and education in the policy, systems, service, and technology aspects of information management, information science, and library science. Established in 1896 as the School of Library Science, its name was changed in 1974 to reflect the growing information field. Syracuse was the first library school to change its name in this way,〔 hence its claim as "the ''original'' school for the information age." Starting in the 1970s, the school began to add new programs focused on information studies that aim to merge technology and management skills with an emphasis on human needs and behavior. ==Degree programs== The School of Information Studies offers an undergraduate degree, four master’s degrees, and two doctoral degrees, as well as several certificates of advanced study. * The Bachelor of Science in Information Management and Technology focuses on information systems and personal services.
