Informatics (TSAP)
Offered at IU East by School of Business and Economics.
About
Informatics is the art, science, and human dimensions of information technology. It is information technology applied to human problems. Informatics as a discipline is closely related to, but distinct from, such fields as computer science, information science, and other traditional disciplines related to information technology.
Informatics is more general, basic, and applied than any of these related disciplines: more general, in that it emphasizes breadth across issues in all of the related disciplines, and includes social and ethical issues regarding the information revolution; more basic, in that it examines foundational questions about the very nature of information and computation; more applied, since the aim is to produce qualified information technology professionals to meet the rapidly rising need.
Transfer Single Articulation Pathway (TSAP) degree programs at IU East allow students at Ivy Tech Community College and Vincennes University to earn an associate degree in a specified field and then transfer to IU with junior status to complete a bachelor's degree in the same field.
