Appalachian
on the campus of
University
of
Fall 2007
The Department of Leadership
and Educational Studies offers an NCATE accredited Master of Library Science
(MLS) degree. The MLS degree is approved by the North Carolina Department of
Instruction and reflects Media Coordinator (School Librarian) competencies
required by the State as well as Public Librarian Certification competencies of
the North Carolina Public Librarian Certification Commission, depending on the
concentration pursued by the student. The
MLS program prepares graduates to provide library and information technology
services in K-12 school library media centers and in public libraries. The
program emphasizes the interdependency of all libraries and other types of
information agencies in meeting the needs of citizens in a democratic society.
Courses in the off-campus
programs are generally taught two nights per week or selected Saturdays (an
average of six semester hours per term), and the graduate tuition rate for the
2007-08 academic year is $144.75 per credit hour for an in-state student.
