Information and Knowledge Strategy

The most critical challenge facing organizations today is managing the analysis, evaluation and dissemination of data, information and knowledge for strategic decision making. Columbia University’s Master of Science in Information and Knowledge Strategy program trains students to develop the leadership skills needed to address this challenge.

The program teaches students to plan, design and evaluate initiatives using knowledge and information across a wide spectrum of global environments, including corporations, government, educational and nonprofit institutions. Students also develop a critical insight into the legal, social and cultural factors that influence an organization's ability to leverage information, and learn to analyze, manage and solve problems that impact process, human resources and technology.

This is a sixteen month low-residency online program framed by three residencies in New York City.
