Student Handbook
The Master of Science Program in Information Architecture and Knowledge Management (IAKM) Student Handbook is a guide to the Master's program, including admission, policies, resources, and personnel. Graduate students are also expected to follow the Graduate Schools Catalog edition in effect during their first semester at Kent, which is the official policy document for graduate study at Kent State University. This Handbook in no way replaces or supersedes the Graduate Schools Catalog.

The print version of this Handbook takes precedence over the website version.
