Professional Requirements

Professional Requirements

Master of Information students who are beginning their program in the Fall 2024 will follow the new updated curriculum and will be required to complete 2.0 credits in professional requirements as a part of their total 8.0 credits towards degree completion. 

What are the Professional Requirements?

The Professional Requirements are divided into four categories: Technical, Managerial, Professional Values and Critical Perspectives. Students must fulfill 0.5 credits from each of the four categories. Students can fulfil these requirements by taking required and elective courses.

*Courses that are listed in two categories have learning outcomes that meet the requirements of both categories. Students can count the course in either category for the purposes of fulfilling the requirements. Courses cannot be used to count for both categories.
