Information about the Library Science Program
Indiana University has the only American Library Association (ALA) accredited masters library and information science (SLIS) program in Indiana. There are 8 Indiana University campuses. In order to offer this program at campuses such as IU Northwest (Gary), IU South Bend, Indiana Purdue Fort Wayne, etc. a Distance Learning program was developed. This program is administered from IUPUI (IU Indianapolis campus).
Distance Education Courses:
Many of the courses are televised to our campuses from IUPUI. These courses are received in interactive instruction rooms on our campus (Hawthorn 318 and 338). Students are able to interact with their professors through the televised class.
When enrolled in this program, the students are considered I.U.P.U.I. students because you enroll in classes through their campus but you attend the televised classes at the IU Northwest campus.
The School of Library and Information Science does offer several of its courses online for your convenience.
Course Availability:
There are a variety of courses offered in the Spring and Fall Semesters. In the summer there are 3 – 4 courses offered. Many of the core classes are offered every semester. Some of the courses do have prerequisites but other than that you can take the courses in the order you want to.
Towards the completion of the program, you may have to commute to Indianapolis for classes, but there are evening classes and weekend classes.
