LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCE DUAL DEGREE PROGRAM

Long Island University’s Palmer School of Library and Information Science and New York University’s Graduate School of Arts and Science offer a unique dual master’s degree program with convenient classes in Manhattan. You can earn a Master of Science degree in Library Science (M.S.L.S.) from Long Island University and a Master of Arts degree from New York University for 13 fewer credits than if you took each degree separately. The Palmer School’s master’s degree is accredited by the American Library Association (ALA)—a distinction held by fewer than 60 programs in the United States.

Students enrolled in this program will work individually with their own mentors, subject specialists from the New York University Libraries, through to graduation.
