Librarianship
This focus area prepares students for a range of positions including those in public and academic libraries. Public librarians meet the educational, informational, and recreational needs of patrons at every stage of life and develop collections and programming. Academic librarians manage information resources and meet the information needs of faculty and students at post–secondary educational institutions, including community colleges, four-year colleges and universities, and medical and law school libraries. Students in the librarianship focus area complete the foundational courses for academic librarianship, adult services in public libraries, and youth services librarianship.
