Master of Library Science

The Master of Library Science program is designed for students seeking employment as librarians and information professionals in Pre K-12 schools, universities, community colleges, public libraries, and related settings. All students are eligible for NC Public Library Certification upon completion of the MLS degree requirements. The MLS requires a minimum of 39 s.h. of credit. Eight core courses (24 s.h.) are required of all students: LIBS 6010, 6012, 6014, 6018, 6026, 6031, 6042, and 6991 or 6992.

Students are evaluated in all MLS courses using the following grading scale:

  • 93-100%=A:Student meets and exceeds course requirements
  • 86-92%=B:Student adequately meets course requirements
  • 79-85%=C:Student minimally meets course requirements
  • 78 and under = Failing grade:Student does not meet course requirements
  • W:Withdrawal from the course within the time period specified by the university found in the Graduate Catalog. For procedures, see: http://www.ecu.edu/cs-acad/registrar/WithdrawfromDE.cfm Also, inform your advisor, the instructor and the Department of Library Science.

You may view syllabi for the eight core courses at http://www.ecu.edu/cs-educ/libs/syllabi.cfm and in the Library Science Advising Center (LSAC) in Blackboard.

All MLS and licensure students must complete a portfolio.The portfolio is the culminating capstone product and includes an artifact from each LIBS course and a reflection for each artifact.The portfolio is reviewed at midpoint in a student's program and before graduation.See http://www.ecu.edu/cs-educ/libs/portfolios.cfm for additional details.
