Master of Library and Information Science
Program Overview
The Master of Library and Information Science degree prepares students for professional positions in public, academic, special and school libraries; archives; museums; and other types of information agencies, organizations and companies.

An accredited M.L.I.S. degree is the basic requirement for professional employment in most libraries and information centers.
