Hi, Another co-worker asked me for the lowest cost graduate program via dl in this area. Three people in one day asked me about dl. Hille
Here is one that I've seen a few times before. MLS - Master of Library Science (Reference Concentration) | UB Graduate School of Education
We have multiple threads on this topic in the archives. One piece of advice; I've been told that a person should not even consider a degree that is not accredited by the ALA.
Hi, I looked through the threads briefly. This person needs the thriftiest tuition for an ALA approved Masters In Library Science. Thanks. Hille
I believe Valdosta has ALA accreditation at a relatively low cost with some residency required. The ALA has a great search function on their website. You can search by modality including 100% distance and distance with some residency. Don't know if the database is up to date or not.
I echo that sentiment 400 percent. You cannot get in the door to interview at public or academic libraries without the ALA stamp.
Oh, that stinks. If there is one online MLS program, there are bound to be others. This one showed up in a Google search... so I'm sure that others would be easy to find.
Syracuse University offers a MSLIS that is ALA-accredited, although it's probably pricey; Master of Science in Library and Information Science - iSchool - Syracuse University
Our school's librarian did her MLIS through Florida state a few years back. She was able to get in state tuition because of agreements through the Academic Common Market. You may want to consider the ACM if library science programs aren't offered in your state. -Matt
Texas Women’s University: MLS or MALS SLIS Home - TWU School of Library & Information Studies - Texas Woman's University
Just remember, an MLIS degree doesn't come with a job. They are pretty hard to find in libraries these days unless you are willing to move to one of the fly-over states. if you have something lined up and just need the degree then go for it.
