Overview

The world of library and information science is changing rapidly. No longer just a home for printed texts, a “library” is any place where creating, storing, and accessing traditional print and emerging digital resources come together, where people seek information and insights to help them accomplish their goals, and where communities come together to share in information discovery and dissemination. This evolution is huge, and the vast array of careers it is creating calls for highly trained, technologically savvy information professionals. Pairing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science or Information Technology with a Master’s in Library and Information Science, this sought-after combination will give students a versatile technical background, as well as advanced knowledge of the principles, theories, and practices of modern librarianship, digital curation, and content management. Students will earn their Computer Science or Information Technology degree in an empowering, state-of- the-art environment. Through coursework and hands-on learning, they will develop their ability to understand computing foundation and theory and to solve real-world problems through the application of technology. Master’s level coursework in Library Science will commence by their senior year and culminate in stimulating yet practical independent studies. The School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) is ranked 12th in the country by U.S. News & World Report. The faculty are recognized leaders in their fields, while the prime Boston location opens the door to hundreds of prestigious internships, and on-campus and online course offerings provide flexibility for students.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
