The Graduate School of Library and Information Science offers the Master of Science in Information Studies and the Doctor of Philosophy. Information is given in the Graduate Catalog about these programs and about the requirements for admission to graduate study.
In addition to the graduate courses described in the Graduate Catalog, the faculty has approval to offer the following courses in the academic years 2002-2003 and 2003-2004; however, not all courses are taught each semester or summer session. Students should consult the Course Schedule to determine which courses and topics will be offered during a particular semester or summer session. The Course Schedule may also reflect changes made to the course inventory after the publication of this catalog.
A full explanation of course numbers is given in General Information. In brief, the first digit of a course number indicates the semester hour value of the course. The second and third digits indicate the rank of the course; if they are 01 through 19, the course is of lower-division rank; if 20 through 79, of upper-division rank; if 80 through 99, of graduate rank.
