Overview
The Graduate Certificate in Library & Information Studies program is a 15-credit program which allows professional librarians and information specialists currently holding an ALA-accredited MLIS or equivalent Master's degree to update their qualifications for advanced responsibility.
Each Certificate student is assigned a faculty advisor in conjunction with whom an individualized program of study will be designed.
