Syracuse University is ranked #4 for Best Library and Information Studies Program, according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2017 rankings.¹
A Curriculum Built for Today’s Library and Information Needs
The online program prepares you for modern information roles through face-to-face, online classes and a multimedia online learning platform. The program curriculum is designed around three core concepts:
- Valuing the needs of users and potential users of library and information services
- Employing modern technologies to deliver high-quality service
- Managing information services and systems to drive innovation and efficiency
By focusing on these core concepts, the program allows you to immerse yourself in today’s library and information science theory. In opportunities beyond the online campus—such as hands-on experiences in libraries and information centers, and on-campus immersions—you will develop the practical insights to implement these values in real communities.
School Media Specialization
You may also pursue an MS in Library and Information Science with a School Media specialization. With this specialization, you will learn to help children from grades pre-K to high school develop literacy and technology fluency and prepare for certification as a school library media specialist.

You will receive dedicated support from our admissions, student success, technical support, and career services teams throughout your program. From working through the application process to registering for classes and developing your post-grad plans, our teams work to help you succeed academically and professionally wherever you live.
