Program Requirements

The program may be completed in one calendar year of full-time study, although many students extend their work over a longer period. At the time of graduation, all course work used to satisfy degree requirements may be no more than six years old.

Students in all graduate programs are required to demonstrate general computer proficiency before starting the program. This requirement may be satisfied by taking the Information Technology Knowledge and Skills Assessment, by passing a computer proficiency examination designed by the department or through faculty approval of prior course work or experience. This proficiency will include knowledge of computing terminology and concepts, as well as minimal competency in the use of specific types of applications software.

Master's students also must present evidence of relevant experience by meeting a field experience requirement. This requirement may be satisfied through appropriate prior experience as approved by the faculty or through a practicum or internship. Students without prior experience may be required to take SLIS 5090, Practicum and Field Study.

Further information concerning these requirements may be obtained through the department.

SLIS 5090 does not count towards fulfilling the 36 hours of graduate credit required for the degree.

Students must complete all course work used toward the degree with an average grade of B (3.0) or better, successfully complete a capstone experience, and file an application for the degree.
