Can international students move to campus, enroll in the on-campus MLIS program and get GSA positions to fund their education??

No. Since the majority of SIS classes are conducted online, it is difficult for international students who wish to be on-campus to meet and maintain student visa requirements for enrollment in a certain number of on-campus courses per semester. Thus, international students who reside in North America are encouraged to not to move to campus, but simply to enroll in the MLIS program's online option. If a student cannot be on-campus, they are not eligible for GSA positions

What is a Plan of Work?

The Plan of Work (POW) serves as a statement of the student's academic objectives and constitutes a contract between the student and the university. Each student must file a POW with the SIS upon completion of the first nine (9) hours of course work. The POW should be completed with the guidance and direction of the student's faculty advisor. It is the student's responsibility to draft a POW and to obtain the faculty advisor's approval and signature. Students must file a POW in the required time period or an academic hold will be placed preventing further registration. Following SIS approval of the POW, notice of candidacy status is forwarded to WSU Student Records and the completed document is retained in the student's folder in the SIS files. This document becomes the official list of courses to be completed satisfactorily by the student for fulfillment of the requirements for the MLIS degree.

Any change in a student's course planning requires that a Change in Plan of Work (CPOW) form be completed in consultation with the faculty advisor prior to registration. Deviation from the POW without notification of change can result in delayed graduation. Plan of Work (POW) and Change in Plan of Work (CPOW) forms can be found at our Forms page.

What is the job outlook for someone with an MLIS? What can you do with a MLIS?

Engaged in challenging careers, qualified information professionals are working in varied settings all over the globe. "Librarians held about 158,000 jobs in 2006. Most worked in school and academic libraries, but more than one-fourth worked in public libraries. The remainder worked in special libraries or as information professionals for companies and other organizations." (Occupational Outlook Handbook)

With more than 50 percent of today's gross national product related to the management of information, career opportunities for individuals trained in library and information science are abundant and diverse.

In this new century and beyond, information professionals will have a wider than ever choice of where and how to apply their knowledge and abilities. Exciting career opportunities exist in both the public and private sectors, including business, law, medicine, publishing, government, archives and museums, communications and media, engineering, academic environments, and pre K-12 education. Check the Library Journal October 15 issue of each year to review annual statistics on information sciences placements.

Online Program/Online Courses

What is the difference between the traditional and the online MLIS options?

The traditional program is for local students who want to take as many courses face-to-face as possible or who want courses (such as Archives) that are currently not available in an online format. The online option, favored by most students for most classes, is designed for students who live too far from campus to attend face-to-face classes or who like the convenience that online courses provide. All students in the online program qualify for in-state tuition so this option makes an MLIS from Wayne State an affordable degree for any student.

Back to top

Can I dual enroll in the traditional and online program?

No, students apply and are admitted to only one program. Students must choose traditional OR online. Students may request to change programs by completing the Change of Status form.

Back to top

Can I switch the format of my program?

Yes, students may request to change the format of their program by completing the Change of Status form. The requested change will be reviewed by the program director and is not automatically granted. Note: Students are only allowed to switch once.

Back to top

Can traditional students take online classes?

Back to top

How does an online course work?

Videos of lectures may be available through Mediasite and/or Blackboard. Assignments are submitted electronically through email, websites and Blackboard submission tools.

Back to top

Can all courses for the MLIS degree be taken online?

Yes, if you are enrolled in the online program, the MLIS degree can be obtained completely online. Traditional students may have the opportunity to take online courses, but online course availability is not guaranteed.

Back to top

Back to top

Does the practicum site need to have a professional librarian on duty to provide supervision?

The practicum site must provide professional oversight.

Back to top

Back to top

May a practicum be spread over two semesters?

Only in special and unusual circumstances will permission be granted to spread the practicum over two semesters (i.e. such as wanting to start the practicum in November and finishing early February).

Back to top

May two practica be selected as a part of a student's course work?

The answer is "No" except for the following two exceptions:

If a student is enrolled in the Archival Administration Certificate Program, a second non-archival practicum maybe approved.

If a student is taking more than 36 hours for their master's degree, a second practicum maybe approved.

Back to top

Are there preferred semesters to take a practicum?        

Students who want to do reference work in an academic library should be aware that for a quality experience the practicum should be taken in either the fall or winter semesters.  The reference desk from late May on sees little reference activity and does not allow for a quality experience.     

Back to top

When are the seminars?

Dates for the seminars appear on the Schedule of classes as a footnote Depending on enrollment, two practicum sections may be scheduled. The confirmation email will inform the student as to the dates and times of the seminar. This confirmation of placement site is sent to the student 21-30 days prior to the beginning of the semester they are registered to take a practicum.
