[OPLINLIST] New Sites for Kent State’s Distance MLIS Degree Program

[Rhonda Filipan]

The Kent State University School of Library and Information Science 
(SLIS) is beginning a new two-year cycle of its 12-12-12 Distance Degree 
program starting Fall 2006 at Franklin Public Library in Franklin, the 
Lorain County Community College (LCCC) in Elyria and SEO Library Center 
in Caldwell.

This program allows students to take courses through interactive video 
and complete an MLIS degree in 2-3 years.  There are no residence 
requirements and all necessary course work can be completed without 
taking courses in Kent or Columbus.

To introduce these new sites and to answer questions from potential 
students, the School is presenting three Open Houses.  Come to one of 
these Open Houses to learn about the program.  Dr. Greg Byerly from SLIS 
will provide an overview of the program and answer questions.
