Students are immersed in special-topics workshops, professional development seminars, research projects, and network-building opportunities. Students of all majors are encouraged to apply. For more information about the program and the information sciences, click here: http://www.ischool-inclusion.org/about-i3/faq.pdf

To apply to i3, students must submit an online application with essay questions, two letters of recommendation, and official undergraduate transcripts. All application materials must be submitted by March 8, 2013. Additional information about the program and application process can be found online: www.ischool-inclusion.org
