Students

The Library and Information Science program at the Morgridge college of education offers a graduate degree, known as the Master's of Library and Information Science (MLIS). Our program prepares graduate students to serve in school, public, academic or specialized libraries, archives, and in business or corporate settings where the effective information management of information is crucial.

Alumni

At LIS program we maintain a close relationship with our graduates and through this we intend to continue the bond. Our current students benefit most from enriched dialogue between classroom teaching and real-world experiences. We believe our alum bring the perspective about their real-life experiences, challenges, and exciting developments and in so doing help current students navigate the domain of the field with its challenges and opportunities.
