| The MLIS program is a
12-course, 36-credit program. There are five required
core courses; the remaining seven courses are tailored
to your career goals. (Please note that the core courses
for the School Librarian Certificate Program are different
than those for other courses of study.) It is important
to plan carefully, in consultation with your faculty
advisor, to make the best use of the educational opportunities
that the School of Information Sciences provides. |
