Data and Information Sciences (GRAD)
The School of Data and Information Sciences (SDIS) was founded in 2026 by joining the School of Information and Library Science (1931) and the School of Data Science and Society (2022). SDIS brings together longstanding excellence in information and library science with leadership in data science, including computational and statistical methods, and societal applications.
Home to a top-ranked library and information science program, SDIS is recognized for strong teaching, research and service and is the home to the Carolina Health Informatics Program (CHIP) and the Center for Information, Technology and Public Life (CITAP). The School teaches and trains undergraduate and graduate students in data science, health informatics, information science and library science, as well as offers certificates for adult learners.
SDIS conducts research and scholarship across the data and information life cycle, with an emphasis on human-centric, ethical and applied approaches. Committed to data, information and AI literacy for all Tar Heels, SDIS faculty are tackling our communities’ most pressing needs and our world’s most intractable challenges.
Courses
Numbered 400-999:
- Data Science and Society (DATA)
- Information and Library Science (INLS)
- Carolina Health Informatics Program (CHIP)
NOTE: The prefix, or subject code, for all School of Information and Library Science courses is INLS. When a prerequisite is listed for a course, it may be assumed that an equivalent course taken elsewhere or permission of the instructor also fulfills the prerequisite or corequisite. The course instructor must approve the equivalency of the substitute course. Although graduate students may take courses numbered below 400, they will not receive credit toward a graduate degree for those courses
Master of Applied Data Science
The Master of Applied Data Science (MADS) is delivered through interactive, live online classes, asynchronous lessons, in-person immersions, and a real-world, team-based capstone project. The program provides recent graduates and working professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the data life cycle; technical expertise in areas such as programming and machine learning; and opportunities to connect with industry professionals in North Carolina and beyond. Students will graduate prepared to identify and tell a story through data; work collaboratively to apply data-driven insights; and directly impact lives in their workplaces and communities. The degree culminates in a team-based capstone with students working on real-world data challenges. The curriculum and the capstone focus on the practical development and application of data science skills, equipping students to advance in professional settings. View more information and course requirements.
Master of Science in Data Science
The Master of Science in Data Science will prepare students to enter industry across a spectrum of disciplines. By the end of study, graduates will be ready to occupy leadership roles in organizations, directing research or developing new analytic and computational tools and technologies. This is a three-semester, 30-credit-hour degree with key curricular components such as foundational coursework, professional development, and specialization tracks. Students will choose to complete either a capstone project or a research thesis as a summative assessment in the program. Students may also extend their studies, if necessary, particularly if they complete a research thesis in preparation for admission to a Ph.D. program.
Master of Science in Library Science
The goal of the M.S.L.S. program is to help students become leaders in the dynamic world of libraries and information organizations as they change to address 1) the needs of communities that are becoming more diverse, 2) an increasing multiplicity of information formats and technologies, and 3) a global perspective toward knowledge barriers and access. Students should be proficient in the theories and practices used in libraries, archives, and other cultural institutions, including effective communication across differing ethical, cultural, political, social, and emotional perspectives.
Typical job titles for graduates include library director, archives manager, records manager, digital librarian, documents librarian, cataloger, public and reference services librarian, school librarian, acquisitions and collection manager, children's librarian, database administrator, special collections librarian, academic library subject specialist, and systems librarian.
The 48 credit hours of coursework is selected, in consultation with the student's faculty advisor, from the information and library science curriculum or, as appropriate, from related subject fields in other schools and departments of the University or at neighboring universities. A master's paper or project (INLS 992) is also required of each master's student. A theme within the curriculum for both master's degrees is evidence-based practice, which requires students to interpret and apply existing research to their professional situations, as well as to design and conduct their own research where necessary data is not otherwise available.
