Library science bachelor’s programs are interdisciplinary in nature, integrating principles of information systems and technology, statistics and the liberal arts.

Earning a master’s in library science equips graduates to excel as librarians and in other related roles. Many MLIS programs encourage specialization in a specific niche of library science.

Master’s programs in library science can usually be finished within two years and some can be finished within a single year.

Students who pursue a master's in library science can also gain employment in non-librarian roles such as data administrator, records analyst, research expert and more.
