MLIS
- Coordinated Degree Programs
MS Geography / MLIS
The MA Geography / MLIS program consists of 48
credits. 18 credits are in Geography, and the
program normally builds upon an undergraduate
background in that discipline. Required courses
in Geography are:
Introduction to Techniques of Research and Presentation,
Quantitative Analysis in Geography
Cartography: Distribution Maps
Growth in Geographic Thought or Theory and Methodology
in Geography
The summer field course
Two geography seminars
( The SOIS course Cartographic Resources in Libraries
is acceptable as one of the required seminars).
In addition to the off campus fieldwork offered
by the Geography Department, the American Geographical
Society Collection provides many unique opportunities
for map librarianship fieldwork.
Graduates of the program are qualified to assume
positions as curators and staff in map collections
of universities, governmental agencies, and industry.
In cases where map collections are not of sufficient
size to warrant separation as distinct collections,
knowledge of how to store, classify, and retrieve
maps will be a valuable set of skills which enhance
the qualifications of the information professional.
