The Graduate Program in Information Architecture and Knowledge Management (IAKM) offers students opportunities to study on the Kent Campus as well as online in the areas of Information Architecture, Information Use, and Knowledge Management.  In order to support all students in the program, we are offering this online orientation experience.

Dr. Froehlich has also prepared a presentation that includes information on coping with coming back to school as a graduate student. 

In addition, Dr. Robins has prepared a video describing expectations on your final projects.  Considering what you will do when you finish this degree is one way to incorporate your interests throughout the learning process in each of the classes in this program.
