Admission

Our goal is to include forward-seeking students who demonstrate potential to become responsible, effective managers and who seek to understand the complexities of information and communications in today's technological, international context. AIM selects candidates who have the experience and background to engage in meaningful classroom discussion. Additionally, admission to the AIM Program is based on the following general guidelines:

  2. You must currently work in a position related to one of the four academic areas in the AIM curriculum (Information Management, Information Design, Business Management, or Applied Research). This may include: database administrator, planner, programmer/analyst, project director, educator, multimedia services supervisor, information technology specialist, or desktop support analyst, to name a few.
  3. You must have at least five years of work experience involved in the structuring, processing, or delivery of information.
  4. You must submit a statement of interest to pursue the AIM degree.
  5. You must submit three letters of reference (professional and academic).
  6. You must have access to certain computer and Internet resources for accessing e-mail, accessing online courses, and doing research.
  7. International applicants without a degree from an English-speaking institution in the United States, Australia, Canada (excluding Quebec), Ireland, New Zealand, or the United Kingdom must submit a TOEFL or IELTS score.
