Specializations

Within the framework of fulfilling the requirements for lead and central courses, it is possible for students with particular interests to select a specialization within the master of library and information science program. Note that students are not required to select a specialization.

Students should discuss their interests and plan of study with their adviser. If a specialization is chosen, there is no application or admission process in advance; the student should just select courses in the program accordingly. As part of the process of applying for graduation, students will complete a form (online) declaring their specialization and listing the courses taken in fulfillment of it. If the student declares a specialization and has fulfilled the requirements for it, the specialization will be recorded on the student's transcripts.
