Aloha Air-L Colleagues and Students,
We invite applications to the Communication and Information Sciences PhD
program at the University of Hawaii.
Founded in 1986, this is one of the first interdisciplinary programs of
its kind in the country. It is sponsored by four units across three
colleges: Information and Computer Sciences (College of Natural
Sciences) the School of Communications and department of Library and
Information Science (College of Social Sciences), and Information
Technology Management (College of Business). The program is structured
for interdisciplinary experience across these fields. Curricular focus
areas and faculty research expertise currently include Communication &
Information Theories, Community Engagement, Data Science, Digital
Business Transformation, Human-Computer Interaction, Information Policy
& Planning, and Social Informatics (including Social Media studies).
Applicants must have a Master's degree in one of the above fields or a
related field. Please see https://www.hawaii.edu/cis/, in particular the
Prospective Students section. Applications are due February 1st for fall
admissions.
Applicants will be considered for a program support graduate assistant
position, which provides a stipend, tuition waiver and benefits.
Additionally, CIS students often find teaching assistantship positions
in the constituent departments (see links below). Some international
students receive support from the East-West Center,
https://www.eastwestcenter.org/ (which has a deadline approaching: apply
to them ASAP).
Students interested in a more technical degree might also consider the
ICS Computer Science graduate programs
(https://www.ics.hawaii.edu/academics/graduate-programs/). Students who
have not yet earned an MS might consider the ICS MS program,
Communications or other programs in the new School of Communication and
Information (https://sci.manoa.hawaii.edu/programs/), Information
Technology Management (https://shidler.hawaii.edu/itm/about), or Library
and Information Science (https://www.hawaii.edu/lis/).
Best wishes to all for the holidays!
