Library and Information Science, MLIS/History, MA

University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee

In collaboration with several other academic units at UW-Milwaukee, SOIS offers students the opportunity to obtain two Master’s degrees concurrently-one in Library and Information Science (MLIS) and one in a subject area. The Department of History offers master's programs that prepare students for careers in teaching, in historical research, and in archives, historical agencies, museums, libraries and government. Graduates of the program are qualified to assume positions as archivists and staff members in libraries, museums, universities, governmental agencies, and industry. For those who pursue employment opportunities beyond archives in such institutions, knowledge of how to store, classify, and retrieve archival material will be a valuable set of skills that enhance the qualifications of the information professional.
