SLIS Web Institutes

Students may pursue the Master's by attending web institutes with the remainder of the program on the Web. Click here for for Web Institute attendance policy information.  The web institutes begin the three SLIS core courses, which then continue online for the remainder of the semester. 

  • Nine-day institutes (held in Denton in the summer) cover orientation to the school and content introduction for all three core courses (SLIS 5000, SLIS 5200, and SLIS 5600).

  • Four-day institutes (held in Denton, Houston, Las Vegas, and Georgia) cover orientation to the School and content introduction to SLIS 5000 and SLIS 5600 or content introduction to SLIS 5200. 

The Web/Institutes use cohort approach to enable the students to take the first, second, in some cases, the third semester of studies as a group. This cohort-based approach provides an opportunity for students and faculty to build a vibrant learning community./font>
