Prepare for a Career Preserving the Past

The School of Information Studies cooperates with the Loyola University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences to offer a combined program leading to two degrees: Master of Library and Information Science and Master of Arts in Public History.

Public history uses the past to serve a variety of contemporary needs including the application of the skills and methods of history to the study, management, preservation and interpretation of historical records and artifacts. 

I recommend the program. I’m really enjoying it and I think it’s a good choice for anyone who is interested in anything from big data to web design to library and archives. I think there are a lot of choices that give students the freedom to make the program their own."
