The role of librarians is continually evolving to meet the needs of our communities, from the smallest of rural counties to large urban areas. Here at MTSU, our Master of Library Science (MLS) Program is designed to prepare graduates to excel in today’s multicultural and global society. Our courses are taught by faculty with real-world experience and a user-based mindset, who focus on helping students build their library science knowledge while utilizing new and emerging technology, instruction, and management skills. The Master of Library Science degree program consists of 36 credits, with classes that are 100% online and asynchronous (except for the required in-person components of the field experience), allowing for greater flexibility with working students.
