Graduate Certificate in Information Management for Librarians
The Graduate Certificate Program in Information Management for Librarians serves the needs of those who wish to enter the rapidly expanding information field. This certificate program seeks to provide students, librarians, and information professionals with the tools needed to use technology efficiently and effectively in gathering, storing, and disseminating information. To obtain both the MLIS degree and Information Management for Librarians graduate certificate, students will be required to complete an additional 6 credits beyond the 36 required for the MLIS degree. This certificate program is offered completely online. For additional information, students are referred to the Degree and Certificate Requirements regulations as stated in the Wayne State University Graduate Bulletin.
The certificate program is open to students with advanced degrees in related fields, students enrolled in the SLIS or other WSU graduate programs and, on a case by case basis, students with baccalaureate degrees from accredited universities who possess the appropriate background experience.
Student interested in pursuing only the IM certificate should review our Certificate policy. Students in this program will be required to meet the program's technology requirements and submit IC3 scores upon applying to the certificate program.
