The discipline of library and information science encompasses diverse information management contexts, ranging from academic institutions to public and private sector organizations. Tailor your learning journey to align with your unique professional aspirations. Our ALA-accredited Master of Science in Library and Information Science serves as the primary professional qualification for most library positions. While core courses and internships form the foundation (detailed below), this program offers significant customization opportunities for specialization. Whether you're currently employed or planning to work in niche fields like legal, medical, corporate, museum, scientific, artistic, or academic libraries, Palmer provides relevant coursework options. Students can design their curriculum by combining mandatory classes, elective selections, and practical experience that directly support their individual objectives. Those pursuing the standard MSLIS are encouraged to consult with academic advisors to develop a strategic course and internship plan.
