MLIS - Coordinated Degree Programs

MS History / MLIS

The MA History/MLIS program can be completed in 48 credits, of which 18 credits must be in regular History courses. The program normally builds upon an undergraduate background in the discipline.

The required graduate courses in History include:

  • Historiography and the Theory of HIstory or Historical Research Methods
  • Two elective colloquia
  • Two elective seminars or other History courses carrying graduate credit

The Department offers graduate courses in public history which might be of particular interests to MLIS/History students. Cross-listed archives management courses and Public History Internships cannot be used to fulfill the History requirement of 18 credits for the joint degree program.

This combination of coordinated degrees provides training for those who will seek employment in large libraries, archives, and historical agencies.

The Milwaukee metropolitan area is endowed with a natural history museum, historical and art museums, governmental and university archives, and special libraries which serve as laboratories and fieldwork sites for the students.

Students persuing the MS History / MLIS degree can also pursue the Archival Studies Concentration.
