Heh, whatever I decide I want to be when I grow up I can't do it here... Our local university SUXXOR! UNLV caters so heavily to the hospitality industry it's not even funny. No vet school, barely a medical or law program... it's mainly for MIS (Management Information Systems) & MBAs. Plegh!
This is one of the bullshit programs they offer... the catalogue description doesn't even make sense!
Graduates from the School of Informatics will possess the skills to apply information technology deeply and effectively in related disciplines, referred to as "cognate" areas. These graduates will be ideally suited to achieve profound advances in these cognate areas. They will also possess general knowledge in the discipline of informatics, which will enable them with the principles and conceptual framework necessary to invigorate any discipline using advanced information technology.
It's like, "what exactly is it that I can do for a living once I have this degree? Flip burgers or sell timeshares, maybe?"
Can't Do It Here
