Are You Interested in a Career as a Librarian?

Generally, career librarians obtain a Master's Degree from a library education program accredited by the American Library Association. Although these programs have different names at different schools, such programs are generically referred to as Masters in Library Science degrees, or MLS for short.

There are two area universities offering Master's degrees in this field:

University of Missouri-Columbia

Emporia State University
