The School of Library & Information Science (SLIS) offers programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. For undergraduates, SLIS offers a minor in Digital Studies and several general education/integrated learning core courses.
At the graduate level, SLIS awards the Master in Library and Information Science (MLIS) degree and Graduate Certificates in Archival Studies (CARST), Records & Information Management (CRIM), and School Librarianship (CSLIB).
Students interact with the faculty and other students through online media and submit all assignments and exams electronically. SLIS has been offering entirely online degree programs since 2013, and we are proud of the level of student/faculty interaction and the quality of instruction offered. In Fall 2020, SLIS began offering select online programs through LSU Online in addition to our traditional SLIS Online programs.
The School of Library & Information Science is committed to developing and nurturing an educational and professional environment that is welcoming to and inclusive of diverse, under-represented, oppressed, and vulnerable populations. This commitment extends throughout all aspects of SLIS, including recruitment and retention of students, administration, teaching, research, and faculty service.
