Whether you are interested in public, academic, digital, school, or special libraries and archives, or want to create a custom career path in information-intense industries – such as an information systems analyst, data asset manager, or social media curator – The Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) degree at St. Catherine University will empower you to:

Navigate the social issues and technological risks that come with digital data and information management
Understand the ethics behind intellectual freedom, privacy, intellectual property, and equitable access for all
Help patrons and colleagues overcome obstacles to accessing and using information, such as information overload and disinformation
