Applicants who have completed graduate work in library and information science in other library service programs accredited by the American Library Association (ALA) may apply for transfer of 6 credits if the work was completed with a grade of B or better within three years prior to admission to the Rutgers M.L.I.S. program. No transfer of credit is granted for undergraduate course work applied toward an undergraduate degree. No credit is awarded for prior work experience in library and information service. Students having prior course work in library and information service are encouraged to discuss with their adviser the development of a program that avoids the substantial repetition of content.
After admission to the school, students who have not transferred 6 credits may, with their adviser's prior approval, take up to a total of 6 credits of work in another department at Rutgers or in another library and information science program accredited by the ALA.
