[OPLINLIST] New Sites for Kent State's MLIS12-12-12 Distance Learning Degree Program

[FILIPAN, RHONDA]

The Kent State University School of Library and Information Science
(SLIS) is beginning a new two-year cycle of its 12-12-12 Distance
Learning Degree program starting Fall 2008 at 

 

The Franklin Public Library in Franklin

Lorain County Community College (LCCC) in Elyria

Southeastern Regional Library System (SERLS) in Wellston

 

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 coursework 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.  Representatives from the
School of Library and Information Science will provide an overview of
the program and answer questions.
