document: Information architecture : notes toward a new curriculum There are signs that information architecture is coalescing into a field of professional practice . However , if it is to become a profession , it must develop a means of educating new information architects . Lessons from other fields suggest that professional education typically evolves along a predictable path , from apprenticeships to trade schools to college - and university-level education . Information architecture education may develop more quickly to meet the growing demands of the information society . Several pedagogical approaches employed in other fields may be adopted for information architecture education , as long as the resulting curricula provide an interdisciplinary approach and balance instruction in technical and design skills with consideration of theoretical concepts . Key content areas are information organization , graphic . design , computer science , user and usability studies , and communication . Certain logistics must be worked out , including where information architecture studies should be housed and what kinds of degrees should be offered and at what levels . The successful information architecture curriculum will be flexible and adaptable in order to meet the changing needs of students and the marketplace
