The master's degree in the Information School (iSchool) prepares graduates to develop and provide information services that create, collect, organize, store, analyze, find, distribute, and use information in a diverse, technological, and global society. At the master’s level, the school prepares information professionals to work in five broad overlapping areas of the information professions.

?Librarianship: Graduates obtain employment in college and university librarianship, public librarianship, youth and young adult librarianship, electronic collections management, science and health librarianship, research data management, and school library media centers.

Archives in a Digital Age (on campus program only): Graduates obtain employment in digital asset management, digital preservation and curation, digital archives, corporate archives, government archives, special collections, and tribal libraries archives and museums.

Information Management: Graduates obtain employment in information analysis and visualization, knowledge management, prospect research, systems analysis, digital asset management, records management and compliance, research data management, information systems analysis and project management.

Organization of Information: Graduates obtain employment in metadata management, taxonomy and ontology development and implementation, digital asset management, cataloging, XML and linked data, and database management.

User-Centered Systems Design and Evaluation: Graduates obtain employment in user experience design, systems analysis and project management, IT training, educational technology support, digital asset management and curation, content management, and database development and management.

M.A. Program Specializations

Some M.A. program specializations require specific coursework or other requirements.

Graduate/Professional Certificate in Strategic Innovation: Technology, Organizations, and Society: The Information School offers a specialization in information innovation and organizational change in conjunction with the School of Business graduate/professional certificate which can be completed as part of the school's M.A. degree (on-campus program only).

School Library Media Services and Administration: A valid teaching license is required for school library media certification in the state of Wisconsin. The teaching license can be obtained before or after completing the School of Information MA; it is not required for admission. For licensed classroom teachers with master's degrees, web-based school library media certification courses are available through the UW System School Library Education Consortium (UWSSLEC).

Online students (distance degree option) should note: Specialized courses in art, music and law, as well as courses offered outside the Information School that may be part of specializations or double degrees, are generally not available online. For a distance student with academic background in one of these areas, combining the general LIS degree with the specialized background may be the best preparation.
