The master of library science program is designed for students seeking employment as librarians in schools, community colleges, public libraries, and related settings. Six core courses and one research course are required of all students. Additional courses are required for school licensure. The program requires a minimum of 39 s.h. of credit as follows:
Courses required of all students: LIBS 6010, 6014, 6018, 6026, 6031, 6042, and a course in educational research. For students with no library or school library media center experience, an internship is required as well as electives to complete hours for the degree.
Additional courses required for school licensure: LIBS 6135, 6140; EDTC 6035 or 6037, and one educational core competency course to be selected in consultation with an adviser. An early internship (LIBS 6989), following 9 s.h. of program credit is required for students lacking teaching licensure.
