Library and Information Science 

Our graduates are professional librarians, archivists, and information specialists who make a positive difference in their communities across the country and internationally.  Our fully online programs include some unique features:

• No out-of-state fees - online students pay the same tuition as residents
• No required visits to campus (although we are happy to see students and graduates who drop by for a visit to our beautiful campus and offices)
• British Studies each summer in London, an optional study-abroad course where students may earn 6 elective credit hours
• Synchronous classes meet online once each week in virtual Zoom classrooms where students may see, hear, and interact with the professors (scroll midway down the page to view class schedules, course descriptions).
