The Library and Information Science Program seeks students with diverse educational and career backgrounds. Applicants for graduate study must have earned a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university with a scholastic average of B (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) or better. Transfer credits are accepted under certain conditions.

The FastTrack MLIS Program is designed for independent learners who are prepared to employ information technology as an ally in the learning process.

Students who have not worked in libraries may elect to do a three-credit Field Placement during which they perform professional activities in a library or information center under the supervision of a librarian or information specialist and with the cooperation of a member of the faculty.

Nondiscriminatory Admissions Policy:

Admissions policies support the University's goal of affirmative action. This means more than the absence of discrimination. The faculty actively encourage applications from women and members of racial and ethnic minority groups.
