Prepare for Excellence in a Rewarding Career

The School of Information Studies cooperates with the McCormick Theological Seminary to offer a combined program leading to two degrees: Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) and Master of Divinity (MDiv).

This program is usually completed in approximately three-and-a-half years. Students design a course of study in conjunction with advisors from each program. It also includes a course in theological librarianship.

I highly recommend the master’s in library and information science at Dominican because of the amazing instructors that they have on board. A lot of them have great world knowledge and experience. You also get to develop a lot of great lifelong relationships as well—not only with the instructors but with peers that you find working in the same place as you."

Accreditation

The Master of Library and Information Science program is accredited by the Committee on Accreditation of the American Library Association (ALA). On January 20, 2023, ALA's Committee on Accreditation voted to continue the Dominican MLIS's full accreditation status for another seven-year term. The next comprehensive review will take place in 2029. 


Chicago's Only iSchool

Dominican University is also a member of the iSchools consortium, dedicated to advancing the information field. As Chicago’s only iSchool, Dominican’s School of Information Studies has long been a presence on Chicago’s higher education landscape, first offering library science programs in the 1930s. See what sets us apart.
