Library and Information Science

Explore the role libraries play in times of crisis, take a stand against inequity and examine the responsibilities of being a librarian today. Pursue professional pathways in user services and community engagement, archives and special collections, digital curation, organization and management of information and knowledge, children and youth services, digital information systems, or information research and analytics.

Library and Information Science: School Media

Designed for educating librarians and school media specialists in K-12 schools, this program will prepare you to help students and teachers alike use information resources and technology to their advantage.

I think my most highly-valued thing about the LIS program is the hands-on, experiential, in-the-moment learning that helps you see if you’re interested in certain types of librarianship or archive work, as opposed to just learning about it in class.
