MLIS - Coordinated Degree Programs

MS Urban Studies / MLIS

The MS Urban Studies/MLIS consists of 54 credits, 24 of which must be in Urban Studies courses. Required Urban Studies courses are

• Urban Social Structure
• Research Methods in Urban Affairs
• Internal Structure of the City
• history course - Seminar in American Urban History
• and a course that will satisfy the quantitative analysis requirement

  Other courses should be selected in consultation with the Urban
  Studies advisor and should provide a general exposure to the multidisciplinary character of urban policy and process. Students are also encouraged to focus their selection of courses upon a concentration such as administrative process or policy research.

Fieldwork takes place in major libraries, information and research centers such as UWM itself, and the Legislative Reference Bureau of the City of Milwaukee. Students will graduate from the program with a strong background in history and current policy issues of urban communities, familiarity with the diverse client groups comprising urban communities, an understanding of the role and management of public service institutions, and skills in program development, needs assessment, and program evaluation and skills in the methods of policy research. Thus they are particularly well suited for jobs in major urban public libraries and in the information and research centers of universities and federal, state, and local governments, and research institutions.
