Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the curriculum of iSchools in North America. To achieve the aim of the study 17 iSchools and the same number of L-Schools were chosen from the same regional area. Data were collected mainly through each of their official websites and email inquiry. The graduate courses were classified into 8 domains judging by its title, and conducted t-test for a comparative analysis with L-School curriculum using SPSS 19.0. It is found that 'Information Studies', 'Practicum and Study', and 'Library and Information Center Management' domains were dominant in iSchool curriculum. In the comparative analysis, 'Study in Library and Information Science' domain showed lower percentage, whereas 'Information Studies', 'Library and Information Center Management', 'Practicum and Study' domains showed higher percentage than the L-School curriculum.
