University of North Texas
College of Information
This fall, the University of North Texas, in partnership with the James Madison University Library, will offer the MLIS to a third cohort of students through this unique partnership program.
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 17-20, 2012 and January 4-6, 2013) 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 2014. 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.
Each of these individuals is committed to the Virgina Cohort and can be reached by e-mail, postal mail, fax, and phone.
