MA\/MLIS<\/div>\n <\/h1>\n<\/header>\n \n\n\n\n\n

Effective Spring 2026, admission to the MA program in Women\u2019s and Gender Studies is temporarily suspended (last updated January 2026).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The joint MA\/MLIS degree allows students to earn two master\u2019s degrees concurrently in reduced time than it would take to earn each separately. The library science degree can be paired with a subject-specific academic area to provide students with the benefits of both a scholarly research degree and a professional degree for flexible career options. Alumni from the joint Women\u2019s & Gender Studies master and library science master degree program have gone on to work in academic libraries, public libraries, university teaching, museums, historical societies, nonprofits, and more.
 
51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s library science degree program has been accredited by the American Library Association since 1976, an important consideration for students planning to work at a library since many require a accredited degree. Within the library science portion of the joint degree, students can choose to concentrate in: Archival Studies, Information Organization, Information Technology, Public Library, and School Library Media \/ School Librarianship. Additionally, the library science portion of the joint degree can be completed fully online.
 
The coordinated program with Women\u2019s & Gender Studies is designed to empower students with both theory of information retrieval and organization and the practical hands-on tasks associated with information management and distribution with a particular eye towards feminist research, scholarship and information.<\/p>\n\n\n
