Dual
Masters Degree Programs
Students may pursue the MLISc degree and a second
masters concurrently, cooperating with the following departments and
fields of study: information and computer sciences (MS), history (MA),
Pacific Islands studies (MA), American studies (MA), Asian studies (MA),
and law (JD). For more information on these programs, contact the LIS
program chair or the other respective departments.
Doctoral Degree
Interdisciplinary Doctoral Degree Program
LIS
participates in an interdisciplinary PhD program in communication and
information sciences (CIS) integrating computer science, communication,
library science, and management information systems. Because of the
broad knowledge base required to support the interdisciplinary approach,
the program also draws on political science, economics, engineering,
operations research, and behavioral sciences. This unique program is
sponsored by four academic faculties: communication, decision sciences,
information and computer sciences, and library and information science.
For information on admission and requirements, refer
to the Communication and Information Sciences section within the
Colleges of Arts and Sciences.
School Library Media Specialist Certification
The LIS program recommends graduates to the Hawaii
Department of Education for certification as school library media
specialists. To be eligible, graduates must meet the MLISc degree
program requirements and the course requirements approved for
certification by the Hawaii Department of Education. The National
Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC)
Standards for Advanced Programs are used in conducting periodic reviews
of the program.
A student who enters the LIS program to earn this
certification must have completed a state-approved teacher education
program. For more specific and current information on prerequisites and
required as well as recommended LIS courses, contact the LIS program
chair.
Certificate Program
The Certificate in Advanced Library and Information
Science (CALIS) offers two options. Option A is available for those who
complete a successful, coherent program of specialized study and
research beyond the MLISc degree. The program allows for specialization
1) applying computer and information technologies to information
environments and 2) extending information management skills in
information system design, evaluation, and the development of user
services.
Option B focuses on school librarianship. It allows
for specialization in
1) applying computer and information science technologies in elementary
and secondary school libraries, and 2) extending curriculum planning
skills in information literacy and general literacy instruction.
For both options, students must complete a research
paper that meets the approval of the CALIS Committee and give an oral
presentation of their research to students and faculty. Students are
expected to remain enrolled each semester until the requirements are
completed. If it is necessary to withdraw temporarily, students must
reapply for admission within application deadlines before returning.
Credits more than five years old cannot be applied to the certificate
requirements; thus, the program must be completed in five years. For
more specific information on prerequisite and elective courses, contact
the LIS program chair.
