4. Dowell “Computing is everywhere
Dowell “Computing is everywhere! If your goal is to get an education from UW, UW is a great place to be and here’s why….”

5. FLUIDITY BETWEEN MAJORS
Many majors have overlapping content
Any UW student can gain a strong technical background by taking courses offered to all majors
Keep an open mind and consider multiple majors
Dowell

6. COMPUTING-RELATED MAJORS

Draws upon areas such as computer science, information science, sociology, psychology, design and information management
Courses include: mobile app development, information architecture, information assurance & cybersecurity, and visual information design
Dowell

22. INFORMATICS The science of human-centered Information processing:
How do we create information
How do we store, manage and protect it
How do we find it when we need it
How do we share and manipulate it?
How do we make it work more us than we work for it
Degree Options
Human-Computer Interaction
Information Architecture
Information Assurance and Cybersecurity
Data Science
Dowell: Information has a lifecycle and currently computing technologies are the primary way we deal with it: Information is created, disseminated, stored, retrieved, and reused to make new information.

23. TRANSFER ADMISSIONS
