I wasn't sure what "Information Science" was, so I used Google. Cornell, probably an above average department, was the first hit. As far as I can tell from the course descriptions, graduates of this program are not preparing to invent the next generation of technology breakthroughs: http://www.infosci.cornell.edu/academics/degrees/ba-college-arts-sciences/degree-requirements/tracks-required-courses http://www.infosci.cornell.edu/academics/degrees/ba-college-... A Cornell undergrad wanting to be a hardcore technologist, would major in "Computer Science" in the College of Engineering. But that would be more effort.
