Does the VSU MLIS Program offer a Sixth Year or Doctoral Program?
No, our program offers the MLIS only. We do not offer a sixth year specialist’s degree. I would suggest you investigate other LIS programs. ALISE – an LIS educators’ association – maintains a list of its institutional members (http://www.alise.org/membership/instmembers.html). ALA offers a list of schools with ALA accredited masters programs. Not all ALA Accredited programs are associated with PhD or Sixth year programs (http://www.ala.org/ala/accreditation/lisdirb/lisdirectory.htm). Universities members of the Academic Common Market may provide in-state tuition to Georgia residents seeking the Sixth Year or PhD Program (see http://www.sreb.org/programs/acm/acmindex.
