About The Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Students admitted to the Accelerated Master of Library & Information Science (MLIS) Degree Program begin their master\u2019s degree coursework in their senior year and take six graduate credits as part of the Bachelor of Science in Information Science & Technology (BSIST) degree requirement. The Accelerated MLIS allows students to shorten their MLIS degree to 30 credits while starting the program as an undergraduate, paying undergraduate tuition for those first 6 credits. It allows students to complete both degrees in less time at a reduced cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students may continue their studies in the MLIS program immediately upon completing their bachelor’s degree or they may defer their MLIS degree start date for up to 5 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
