This describes the generalist librarianship track along with its specialized branches, such as academic librarianship. It supports diverse library-related professions and enhances all other MLIS program tracks. Learners can utilize these program tracks to concentrate their education in specific fields. Librarianship remains the foundational pathway, featuring an extensive selection of courses covering public librarianship, academic librarianship, and children's literature/services. The listed courses in each track are not comprehensive, and students should consult their faculty advisors regarding available course options.

Qualification Requirements
Possess a four-year bachelor's degree or the equivalent from a recognized university in any academic discipline. We welcome degrees with areas of concentration in the sciences, humanities, social sciences and interdisciplinary studies, as well as dual degrees, double majors, and major/minors. Applicants holding undergraduate degrees in the master's degree subject areas (library science, archival science) are examined on a case-by-case basis. The admissions committee reviews degree transcripts closely for evidence of coursework showing significant theoretical and academic content.
Have achieved a minimum overall average in the B plus grade range (76% at UBC) in third- and fourth-year level courses of a bachelor's degree. This is the minimum admission standard, exceeding this requirement will increase the likelihood of being recommended for admission. For students with a degree from a university outside of North America, academic coursework from all years of study is used to calculate academic performance. International students should check admission requirements for their country via the UBC Graduate Studies website.
Applicants from a university outside Canada in which English is not the primary language of instruction must present evidence of competency to pursue studies in the English language. Accepted tests (taken in the past 24 months) include the TOEFL examination and IELTS.
