University of North Texas
College of Information
In the fall of 2008, the Department of Library and Information Sciences at the University of North Texas, in partnership with James Madison University Library, initiated a highly successful cohort-based Master's Program. Building on this success, we are recruiting a second cohort of students that will begin study in the fall semester of 2010.
The cohort approach combines intensive on-site instruction and social events with a highly interactive online experience to build and sustain a vibrant learning community.
On-site instruction includes two four-day web institutes (August 13-16, 2010 and January 6-9, 2011) held at the James Madison University Library with the remainder of the instruction delivered online. There will also be various on site events available throughout Virginia including advising sessions and activities at the Virginia Library Association.
The cohort is limited to 40 students who will complete the program together with a graduation scheduled for August of 2012. This program is available to persons in Virginia, as well as the surrounding states.
The University of North Texas Department of Library and Information Sciences has a long history of providing high-quality programs at sites that are often many miles from the home campus in Denton. In receiving its current accreditation renewal by the American Library Association, the Committee on Accreditation commended the School for its outreach efforts.
