Wellston (Southeast Regional Library System – SERLS) and Kent State University To Offer Masters in Library and Information Science Degree Program

 

 

                                              (Wellston, Ohio) --- Kent State University and Wellston (Southeast Regional Library System – SERLS) have teamed up to offer students the opportunity to pursue graduate study in library and information science beginning Fall 2009 at SERLS in Wellston, Ohio.

 A new, two year cycle of the 12-12-12 Distance Learning Program for graduate students interested in earning a Masters in Library and Information Science degree (MLIS) will begin fall 2009 at SERLS, 252 W. 13th Street, Wellston, by interactive video and  web-based courses. Students in remote sites view the instructor on video screens or monitors, but all students can participate in class discussions. This video technology replicates a traditional classroom by allowing full interactivity and face-to-face communication. Students are able to complete the degree program in three years with course requirements of 12 hours each year.

 Kent State School of Library and Information Science 12-12-12 Distance Learning Program is designed to provide a well-balanced degree program leading to an MLIS degree for students who might otherwise not be able to complete a degree by attending classes on the Kent or Columbus campuses.           

             Regular admission is generally granted to applicants who have an undergraduate degree, a GPA of 3.0 or higher, or another master's degree with a graduate GPA of 3.0 or higher. After formal admission to Kent State University is granted, students may apply for enrollment in the 12-12-12 classes. Admission is on a first-come, first-served basis.

            The Kent State School of Library and Information Science is the only graduate program in Ohio that offers an MLIS degree accredited by the American Library Association (ALA). The school is one of the largest library schools in the country with over 650 students enrolled.
