Master of Information Management

Interdisciplinary degree program

A Master of Information Management (MIM) is an interdisciplinary degree program designed to provide studies in strategic information management, knowledge management, usability, business administration, information systems, information architecture, information design, computer sciences, policy, ethics, and project management. The degree is relatively new and has typically been developed alongside other, more established programs in university Schools of Information. The MIM degree has emerged to address the growing and unique need for information professionals who understand the conflux of multiple organizational issues across several disciplines.

The MIM degree is distinguished from closely related degrees (for example, Master of Science in Information System Management, Master of Information System Management, Master of Information Systems) that provide focused areas of study in computer science, information technology, information science, telecommunications, or some combination of these.

History

The first MIM Programme in New Zealand was started in 2002 at Victoria University of Wellington. The first MIM degree program in the United States began in the fall of 2003 at The University of Maryland. Canada's first MIM program was established in Spring 2008.
