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

[Nicole Purviance]

Sending on behalf of Ken Haycock .

In response to recent questions/comments:
MLIS degree programs can be very short (36 credits) or somewhat longer (48
credits). The San Jose program is 43 credits, which faculty and employers
believe is appropriate for a graduate professional degree with the
complexity of LIS. A shorter program is obviously shorter. The San Jose
accelerated program is accelerated for our longer and, we believe, more
appropriate length.
The Executive program was cancelled for 2011 and each applicant informed
months in advance, with an option of entering the regular program. If
someone was missed inadvertently, we do apologize. The program is being
completely revised with an employers' advisory council for a new cohort
beginning in Fall 2012.
In spite of its somewhat longer program and greater breadth, San Jose offers
excellent value for money when comparing fees for a program in its entirety.
I welcome any individual questions or inquiries.
