The AIM Program offers a unique and innovative approach to professional management education. Several aspects of the program are worthy of explanation. Because of the nature of information management today, the program draws upon the expertise of faculty members in a variety of traditional academic departments. No discipline is designated as the single, logical center of inquiry. Rather, the AIM Program maintains a divergent, multidisciplinary scope designed to work towards, rather than from, theory.
Information is studied from business, management and information design points of reference.
Emphasis on visual information is overlooked in many other programs. The education provided by the AIM Program offers graduates unique skills and a distinct advantage in the work world. Students are active participants in the design and implementation of the AIM Program and are regularly consulted about curriculum content. Sharing of professional knowledge and expertise is expected in the flow of classroom interaction. This approach results in a highly productive learning environment for all participants.
