Multiple Degree Option

Students can pursue multiple degrees of Master of Science in Information Architecture and Knowledge Management (MS in IAKM) or a Master of Science in Library and Information Science (MLIS) and an MS in IAKM. Students must apply to each program or school from which they wish to earn a degree. Each program or school makes an independent admission decision. If approved for admission by both, students may doubly count up to 27 credits for each degree, although, based on the combination of the concentrations taken in each degree, the actual number will range from 12 to 27.

For more detailed information about the Multiple Degree Option with an MLIS and MS in IAKM, please see the LIS Multiple Degree Option page .
