Together with the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, our department administers a dual M.L.S./M.A. program in Library Science and Art History.
In this exceptional three-year program, students take art history courses that span ancient to contemporary visual traditions across Africa, the Americas, East Asia, Europe, and the Middle East alongside courses in the Department of Information & Library Science that lead to M.L.S. specializations in Rare Books and Manuscripts; Archives and Records Management; Digital Content, Curation, and Collections; and the Digital Humanities. Dual M.L.S./M.A. students generally complete all required courses for each program in three years. It is a cost-effective, rigorous program that leads to a terminal degree accredited by the American Library Association.
Applicants to the dual M.L.S./M.A. program must apply to the M.A. program in the Department of Art History (College of Arts + Sciences, deadline January 5) and to the M.L.S. program in the Department of Information & Library Science (Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, deadline February 1) to begin the dual-degree program in the fall semester.
