College of Informatics

From dealing with cyber threats and the world-changing power of generative AI, to mastering communication on a global scale via social media, the College of Informatics prepares students to succeed in the 21st century.

The School of Computing and Analytics offers a behind the scenes view of the digital world through rigorous, hands-on learning. Students engage in research, internships and applied projects that build technical expertise and analytical thinking, preparing them to become innovators, problem solvers and data driven decision makers.

The School of Media and Communication prepares students through internships and class client work to tell stories, build relations and communicate effectively in person and across all digital platforms, putting them on the path for careers in media, public relations and video game development.

At the College of Informatics, information is at our core. Your gift brings this information to life as we continue to provide life-changing opportunities for NKU students and our community.
