Academic Plan

Small classes are a distinguishing feature of the urban library program

The urban library services certificate is composed of six two-credit courses. The program runs 10 months, from September to June. Classes meet at St. Catherine University and at the Saint Paul Public libraries during late afternoons and weekends.

As part of the four courses that focus on libraries and library services, students complete a six-hour per week work rotation in the library systems. The other two courses expose students to a second language. Language instruction is currently available in Spanish, American Sign Language, Hmong and English as a Second Language. The courses occur in sequence.
