The Post Master’s Certificate of Specialization adds focused, state-of-the-art professional and research skills to the foundation of a prior master’s degree.

Students can specialize in a range of areas in Information Studies, including, but not limited to public libraries, academic libraries, children’s and youth services, library management, archival studies, digital preservation, digital curatorship, digital libraries, metadata development and management, and systems design. A minimum of nine courses (100, 200, 400 and 500 series) for a minimum of 36 units must be completed, selected from those available in the Department of Information Studies and other departments of the University. This does not preclude students from taking more units to attain greater depth in their area of specialization.
