 

MLIS

The MLIS degree is a 2 year course of study for full-time students. A total of 16 half-credit courses (48 credit hours) and the non-credit Practicum are needed to complete the degree

  • Full-time status: a minimum of 3 half-credit courses in a single term is considered full-time status. Typically, full-time MLIS students take 4 half-credit courses in both the fall and winter terms.
  • Part-time status: less than 3 half-credit courses in a single term is considered part-time status. Students taking the degree part-time have 7 years to complete the degree.

The MLIS Program is designed for fall admission. Applicants who transfer from another Library & Information Studies (LIS) program, or who possess considerable experience in the field may request consideration for a January admission. See MLIS Admissions for further details.

Flexibility

The MLIS Program’s flexibility allows students study full-time or part-time, to do coursework or plan a research path (complete a thesis, explore through a reading course), take electives within SIM or elsewhere.

Advising

Faculty maintain generous office hours giving you the opportunity to get to know your professors and, in turn, allow them to get to know you. Each student is assigned an academic advisor to guide you through your studies and toward your career goals. Contact the MLIS Program Coordinator, JoAnn Watson (joann.watson@dal.ca), for further information.
