[Libs-Or] Fast-track MLIS Program Designed for Library Leaders

[Nicole Purviance]

Earn Your MLIS Degree in 26 Months!

Are you currently working in a library leadership position and you are
ineligible for promotional opportunities because you don't hold a Master of
Library and Information Science (MLIS) degree? Do you need an accelerated
MLIS program that is focused on leadership, so you don't have to go back to
the basics in order to earn your graduate degree? If this scenario rings
true for you or someone you know, the fully-online Executive MLIS program at
the San Jose State University School of Library and Information Science may
be the solution to achieving your career goals.

The Executive MLIS program is a specialized cohort within the School's
ALA-accredited MLIS program. It is designed for experienced information
professionals who do not currently hold an MLIS degree and would like to
study the core competencies of librarianship from a leadership perspective.

The Executive MLIS curriculum complements the professional experiences of
students, building upon their existing knowledge and preparing them to take
on new leadership roles. Courses are taught fully online by faculty members
who are recognized for their expertise in organizational leadership. Added
features include regularly scheduled online sessions with national and
international leaders and collaborative learning opportunities with peers. 

Details about course schedules for the Fall 2012 Executive MLIS program
cohort are now available. To view the course schedule, please visit:
http://slisweb.sjsu.edu/execmlis/exec2012.htm

Executive MLIS students move through this fast-paced, focused MLIS degree
program in just over two years. Cohort members start the program at the same
time and stay together for the program's duration. The program requires 43
units of study, including an Organizational Consulting Project as the
culminating course, rather than a thesis. 

Applications for admission in the Fall 2012 Executive MLIS cohort are being
accepted through April 1, 2012.

Administration (MARA), and the San Jose Gateway PhD Program.
