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.<br>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.<br>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.<br></span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><img width=54 height=37 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.png@01CC9FBC.1C9AB230" alt="Description: cid:3403782564_40350408"></span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><br></span><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"'>Ken Haycock<br>Coordinator, Executive MLIS Program and <br>Center for Information Research and Innovation<br>School of Library and Information Science<br>San Jose State University<br>+1.778.689.5938<br></span></i><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"'>"It is not only what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable." —Moliere<br></span></b><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"'>Connect on LinkedIn: <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/kenhaycock2011">http://www.linkedin.com/in/kenhaycock2011</a><br>NOTICE: This material is intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed; further dissemination is strictly prohibited.<br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"'><br><br></span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
