ABSTRACT

The Council of the ALA has designated Committee on Accreditation to be responsible for the execution of the accreditation program of the ALA and to development and formulate standards of education for graduate programs of library and information studies leading to master's degree. The vast majority of employers require an ALA-accredited master's degree for professional positions in the field of library and information science; therefore, graduating from an ALA-accredited program enhances your career mobility and provides greater flexibility in the types of jobs for which you qualify. ALA-accredited master's programs can be found at colleges and universities in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
