Dominican University

The mission of the Graduate School of Library and Information Science is to educate excellent library and information science professionals. This education is carried out within the larger context of Dominican University’s institutional commitment to values-centered intellectual development, both personal and professional, for students and faculty alike.

Students choose Dominican University’s Graduate School of Library and Information Science for its outstanding reputation, academic challenges, and its flexibility and accessibility of courses. Although the Graduate School of Library and Information Science is one of the nations largest Masters of Library and Information Science degree-granting programs, classes are small and faculty work closely with students. GSLIS is home to the Follett Chair, one of only four endowed chairs in library science in the country.

Our graduate program gives students the skills to build both a solid foundation on the core values of librarianship and a thorough knowledge of emerging technologies, trends and innovation in the field.

The Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) degree program is designed to educate entry-level librarians and information specialists and, at the same time, provide the educational foundations for life-long professional development. Students may prepare for positions in public, academic, school or special libraries or information services.
