| Prerequisites:* | These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Students who have a four-year university degree or equivalent (see below for equivalencies) and have an average of at least 70% in the last two years of full-time study will be considered for admission. Students from a variety of subject backgrounds in the arts, humanities, social sciences and sciences are encouraged to apply.
Students may be considered for admission with any of the following academic backgrounds:
▪ A four-year degree with an average of at least 70% in the last two years of full-time study;
▪ A three-year Bachelor's degree in an academic discipline, with an average of at least 70% in the last ten courses taken, and the completion of a Bachelor of Education degree;
▪ A three-year Bachelor's degree in an academic discipline, with appropriate additional course work at an accredited university as a special undergraduate student for the equivalent of a four-year degree. This would ordinarily consist of five full academic degree credit courses, usually (but not necessarily) in the student's previous area of specialization. Students who complete these additional courses and maintain an average of at least 70% over the most recently completed ten full academic degree credit courses may apply for admission;
▪ A four-year degree, or the equivalent, with an average of at least 70%, and completion of a graduate degree in another academic discipline, with an average of at least 70%;
▪ A four-year degree, or the equivalent, with an average of at least 70% and completion of two terms of study towards an MLIS or equivalent degree (with an average of at least 70%) at another ALA-accredited library school. Such students may apply for a transfer at the end of their second term for admission to a 10-course MLIS program. |
