6/17/2023 0 Comments Ischool at illinois![]() ![]() An Illinois degree is very strong and while the iSchool is in the early stages of graduating students, we have a long history with recruiters and companies who desire iSchool students. There may be some overlap if a BS/IS student has taken advanced CS courses and aquired those skills, but our curriculum is not focused on teaching students to program (it is a skill we require students to learn, but not our focus). The same employers may also be searching for Computer Science majors for different positions. Companies/recruiters who desire Information Professionals and the skills our students build within our program (and depending on any accompanying minors or other skill building) are seeking our iSchool BS/IS graduates. The majors are completely different, so this would be the same as asking about any other major on campus. (Asked in Advance) Will this department or major be considered less desirable by most employers than the CS major in engineering department of UIUC? If you will need additional time, please communicate concern to your academic advisor to create a plan. To be eligible for an extension, there needs to be concrete plan to complete degree. We do ask students to petition an additional term to an academic advisor. We understand that there are extenuating circumstances that warrant extending to time to degree completion.
