Rapid changes in technology and society have made Library and
Information Science one of today’s fastest-growing and most
exciting careers. Libraries are no longer places to store and
access paper-based materials — they are now electronic information
centers, managed and staffed by well-educated, technologically
sophisticated information professionals.
You can prepare for these opportunities by earning your Master
of Library Science (MLS) at St. John’s University. This acclaimed
graduate degree program gives you the knowledge, skills and
experience needed for success in any institutional
setting—including education, consulting, finance, government,
hospitals, law firms and pharmaceutical companies, among
others.
Convenient, flexible and affordable, the MLS program is ideal
for professionals who balance their studies with work and family
responsibilities. Fully accredited by the American Library
Association (ALA), the program is offered through the Division of
Library and Information Science (DLIS) — part of St. John’s College
of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the University’s oldest division.
Courses are available at St. John’s campuses
in Queens and Manhattan; in Oakdale, NY; and online through the
University’s Division of Distance Learning. Students have a variety
of degree/certificate options:
specialized concentrations, dual degree and Advanced Certificate
program offered through DLIS.
