St. John’s University Master’s in Library
and Information Science Courses to Be Offered at St. Thomas Aquinas
College in Rockland County
St. John’s University is pleased to announce a partnership with
St. Thomas Aquinas College
(STAC) that will enable STAC students to earn a bachelor’s degree
and a
Master of Library Science (MLS) degree in five years. We are
pleased to extend enrollment in the courses to other individuals in
and around Rockland County who hold the bachelor’s degree and wish
to explore the field of librarianship and the cognate information
professions.
Academically eligible undergraduate juniors and seniors at STAC
will be permitted to enroll in up to four introductory core courses
in library and information science, and will need just one year of
full-time study at St. John’s to complete the master’s degree. Some
courses will be taught at STAC and some on line. If enough students
enroll, the entire program will be offered at STAC or on line.
Our first course, Introduction to Library and Information
Science, will be offered on Tuesdays from 7:30 – 9:00 p.m. at St.
Thomas Aquinas College starting on the 17th of October and running
for ten weeks. This course will be available for eventual
application towards the MLS program at St. John’s or may be
eligible for transfer to another ALA-accredited institution.
Scholarships available for academically qualified matriculated
students.
Online Information Session
Chat on line with the Director of Library and Information
Science who will answer questions about the program.
