Advancing knowledge and practice wherever people interact with information and technology

Meet the MIMS class of 2020! This week 50 new students joined us on campus to embark on the Master of Information Management and Systems program. 

The class of 2020 comes to Berkeley from eight different countries: China, Colombia, India, Nigeria, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and the United States. The group is 58% women and 42% men.

The inaugural cohort of the Masters of Information and Cybersecurity (MICS) program began classes on May 7, 2018. The first class is comprised of 14 enterprising students, including a Technical Counterintelligence Special Agent in the Army, a Chief Technical Risk Officer at Kaiser, a Senior Security Reporter, and a UC Berkeley IT Systems Lead.

Cybersecurity is one of the most professionally important and intellectually interesting domains – a true, twenty-first-century master problem. The MICS program starts three times throughout the year, the final application deadline for the September 2018 cohort is June 6, 2018.
