Curriculum
Information management is no longer the responsibility of just computer analysts or IT managers. Anyone who manages people, technologies, products, or services can benefit from the multidisciplinary AIM curriculum.
The AIM Program designs courses to give a broad-based group of professionals the skills and expertise needed to begin applying what they learn immediately in the workplace.
Two ways to earn your degree.
AIM offers two program options: evenings and weekends at the University of Oregon in Portland at the White Stag Block in downtown Portland and fully online through the Blackboard course management system. You may also take a combination of Portland-based and online courses to best work with your schedule.
Instead of a thesis, the program requires you to write a formal research paper in the AIM Capstone. This gives you the opportunity to integrate information and ideas from the entire AIM curriculum.
Other program highlights include:
- The modular curriculum structure enables you to work full-time while completing the 54-credits degree in approximately two and a half to three years as a part-time student.
- Core courses provide 44 of the 54 credits required for the degree. Portland-based core courses meet one night per week for seven weeks and online core courses run for seven weeks.
- Short courses provide 18-20 hours of instruction over two weekends or four Thursdays and a Saturday in the Portland program or four weeks online. Students take short courses when core courses are not in session.
- Core courses, with the exception of the AIM Capstone and Virtual Learning and Teams courses, must be taken for letter grades (A, B, C, D, F).
- The program offers short courses on a pass/no pass basis only.
- You must maintain a 3.0 (B) average throughout the program.
- Face to face courses meet at the University of Oregon in Portland at the White Stag Block, located at 70 N.W. Couch Street in the Skidmore-Old Town Historic District on the MAX line in downtown Portland.
- Asynchronous online courses are offered through the Blackboard course management system.
