Structural study, not the visual design. This is a deliberately plain walkthrough of one thing: the information architecture. It is not what the redesign looked like, and it is not any university's real site. The actual hi-fi prototype is on the case study. Every program name, statistic, and outcome here is invented sample data.

Information Sciences & Technologies (sample department)

Four degrees in building software that people actually have to use. Start with who you are — the site is organised around that, not around our org chart.

Thinking about applying
Programs, what you'd actually study, and what graduates do next.
Already a student
Advising, course planning, co-op, and who to ask when something goes wrong.
Parent or family
Cost, outcomes, safety, and what the degree leads to.
Faculty or staff
Internal forms, room booking, and committee pages.

Programs

Web & Mobile Computing
BS · 4 years · co-op: 2 blocks
BS

Interface engineering, accessibility, and the systems behind them. Heavier on shipping than on theory.

Leads to: Front-end and full-stack roles, product engineering
Human-Centered Computing
BS · 4 years · co-op: 2 blocks
BS

Research methods, interaction design, and accessibility as a first-class constraint rather than an audit at the end.

Leads to: UX research, interaction design, accessibility engineering
Computing Security
BS · 4 years · co-op: 2 blocks
BS

Offensive and defensive practice with a heavy lab component.

Leads to: Security analysis, appsec, incident response
Applied Data Analytics
MS · 2 years · co-op: optional
MS

Statistics, pipelines, and the communication of uncertainty.

Leads to: Analytics engineering, data science, research
