[Libs-Or] FW: Libs-Or - Fast-track MLIS Program Designed for Library Leaders

[Hearn, Shaun]

The Exec MLIS cohort I was referring to was cancelled in 2009. I was not aware of another cancellation in 2011.

I'm sure San Jose's program is fine - it was my first choice. My unfortunate experience shouldn't put others off from considering it. It had nothing to do with the quality of instruction.

In response to recent questions/comments:
MLIS degree programs can be very short (36 credits) or somewhat longer (48 credits). The San Jose program is 43 credits, which faculty and employers believe is appropriate for a graduate professional degree with the complexity of LIS. A shorter program is obviously shorter. The San Jose accelerated program is accelerated for our longer and, we believe, more appropriate length.
The Executive program was cancelled for 2011 and each applicant informed months in advance, with an option of entering the regular program. If someone was missed inadvertently, we do apologize. The program is being completely revised with an employers' advisory council for a new cohort beginning in Fall 2012.
In spite of its somewhat longer program and greater breadth, San Jose offers excellent value for money when comparing fees for a program in its entirety. I welcome any individual questions or inquiries.
