Overview
The MLS/MA in Library Science and History from The City University of New York offers students the opportunity to develop skills in the methodologies of both library science, including archival and special collections management, and historical research.
Learning outcomes
Graduates of the program will receive two degrees, one in the Master of Library Science and the other in the Master of Arts in History, and will be well suited for professional careers in academic libraries, museums, oral history initiatives, document conservation, and public or private archives, and for admission into Ph.D. programs in either History or Library Science.
Curriculum
The 54-credit program can be completed in three years of full-time study and up to six years for part-time study. The first several semesters should focus on the coursework requirements for both GSLIS and History. Students should consult advisors in either department in selecting courses that are relevant for their research and career goals.
As part of their elective coursework, they are strongly encouraged to consider internships at local archives, museums, academic libraries, or other relevant institutions, for which either GSLIS or History credit will be awarded. Students may also consider the GSLIS certificate program in Archives Management in conjunction with the joint degree.
