Degree in “Google Science” Offered by Syracuse I School

-- Library Journal, 4/1/2005

Ray von Dran, dean of the Information School at Syracuse University, announced that, after a round of focus groups among bloggers and webmasters, the I School—known as “the original I school”—will launch a 40 credit-hour-program leading to a Master’s Degree in Google Science (MIGS). “Americans are Googling for hours every day, and they need leaders to show them how to make that activity more efficient,” von Dran said. Mike Eisenberg, dean of the rival I School at the University of Washington, asked to comment, declared: “I believe in the I school movement, but we’re putting our money on Microsoft and their new search engine.”
