Library and Information Science

Offered through the USC Marshall School of Business in partnership with USC Libraries, the Master of Management in Library and Information Science (MMLIS) uniquely combines strength in LIS-based course work with management, communication and business fundamentals.

Aligned with the 14 major competencies laid out by the American Library Association, the MMLIS program provides a robust leadership, management, and library and information sciences focus for students. Each course is taught through real-world, experience-based learning and teamwork, with faculty support and guidance. This approach encourages critical and creative thinking and the development of the skills necessary for high-level careers in the library and information science fields.

MMLIS program faculty include Marshall School of Business faculty, USC Libraries faculty, faculty from other USC schools, and accomplished practitioners from the field. The program is offered entirely online and can be completed in as few as 20 months.

For in-career professionals already holding a master’s in library science, the Graduate Certificate in Library and Information Management online program is offered to help develop advanced leadership and management skills.
