1. Degree Requirements

The first step in planning a program of study is learning what the degree requirements are for your degree program.  Below you will find links to each program’s degree requirements page.  Pay close attention to the core course requirements for each degree as well as any restrictions or requirements for the elective coursework.

All students enrolled in the Specialist program are required to plan a program of study in consultation with their faculty advisor during the first semester of coursework. You must submit a copy of the program plan, signed by your advisor, to iSchool Student Services at ischooladvising@cci.fsu.edu to be placed in your file no later than the end of the seventh week of classes during your first semester of enrollment in the Specialist program. If any changes occur in your program of study throughout your enrollment, you are responsible for revising the plan with your advisor and submitting a revised plan for you. The signed program plan is used to evaluate your eligibility for graduation.

Programs of Study

To help facilitate course selection, courses have been organized into programs of study along general and specialized areas of interest.  These specializations are not required for graduation and do not result in any further notation on the diploma or transcripts, but rather they function as a planning and advising tool for the students.  These specializations may guide your course selection in order to facilitate achievement of your career goals.

Professional Certificates

Professional Certificates are available for non-degree seeking students or for those pursuing a Master of Science degree within the School of Information.  Certificate programs are designed to provide an opportunity for professional development and result in an award separate from the diploma with the successful completion of select coursework for the professional certificate.
