St. John’s is one of only seven institutions on the East Coast offering a 100-percent-online master’s degree in library science accredited by the ALA.
“I couldn’t ask for better professors and mentors. I have felt so cared for by the MSLIS faculty. I have been able to call and email them and get very quick responses. I have developed a real sense of urgency for digital literacy. The MSLIS program has helped me understand how underserved so many people and communities are and it has really made me think about where I want to give my future talents. I have wanted to be a librarian since I was a little girl. I want to advocate for those who need access, and I look forward to a lifetime of giving back as a librarian.”
