Library Science

The educational requirements for professional library work include a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college and a master’s degree in library science from a graduate school accredited by the American Library Association.

Undergraduates should pursue a liberal arts program that stresses a broad cultural background. In addition, some library schools may require a modern foreign language for admission to their programs.

Information regarding types of library work, library schools and their requirements, and job opportunities is available from the Director of the Library.
