The Department of Library and Information Studies at SUNY’s University at Buffalo
is pleased to announce the initiation of an MLS online degree program, with
courses beginning in fall 2010. The MLS degree program is accredited by the
American Library Association. The online program was developed to serve the needs
of off-campus students preparing to enter public, academic, and special
libraries--with an emphasis on reference services. Students will be part of a
24-student cohort and will enroll in two courses each semester, and one course in
each of two summer sessions, for a total of six courses each year. They will
follow a prescribed program of study, but have the option to substitute up to two
three-credit courses from Buffalo's MLS course offerings for any of the online
program courses (with the exception of the Department’s required core courses).
Students accepted into the program should plan to complete the 36-semester
hours-degree in Master of Library Science in two years. Faculty in the department
and well-qualified, experienced practitioners will teach the courses. Prospective
students are encouraged to apply early since there are only 24 spaces. For more
