Degree Programs

Dual Degrees and Specializations (for Master's Students)

Folklore and Ethnomusicology (M.A.) and Master of Library Science (M.L.S.) Dual Degree

Study for these two degrees can be combined for a total of 51 credit hours rather than the 66 credit hours required for the two degrees taken separately. Students take at least 30 graduate credit hours in library and information science, and at least 21 credit hours in folklore and ethnomusicology. To graduate under the dual-degree option, the two degrees must be awarded simultaneously.

  • Master of Library Science (30 cr.): 15 credit hours of required M.L.S. Foundation courses, plus 15 credit hours of SLIS Elective courses. The S401 prerequisite is also required.
  • Master of Arts in Folklore and Ethnomusicology (21 cr.): Consult the Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology.

Students must apply for admission to the master’s programs of both the School of Library and Information Science and the Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology. Admissions criteria established for each program must be met. For specific M.A. requirements, see the University Graduate School Bulletin.
