MA/MS in Library Science and Administration

Simmons offers a master's degree in library and information science that prepares students for careers as information professionals. The American Library Association accredits the program, which combines faculty expertise with practical experience. As information grows and technology changes how it is stored and retrieved, organizations need people who can arrange, manage, protect, and share knowledge. Students can follow concentrations in areas such as cultural heritage informatics, which covers manuscripts, rare books, archives, artworks, and digital materials and includes internships and practical engagement. The school has earned national ranking recognition from U.S. News & World Report across several specialties, including archives management, services for children and youth, school library media, and digital librarianship. Courses are available on campus, online, or in hybrid formats.
