What's Available in the Department of Informatics?

For that reason, the Department of Informatics was established in 2006 to offer students a solid foundation in how to apply technology and information science in any field, ranging from science to business to the fine arts.

The Department’s courses complement all disciplines at UAlbany by introducing an Information Technology (IT) perspective (e.g., programming, online searching and database application) to any field. This diversity of ideas teaches students how to think differently about their field and prepares them to meet challenges in their careers.
