JD-Library & Information Science MLIS Dual Degree
Offered at IU Indianapolis by Robert H. McKinney School of Law
About
The demand for law librarians with dual degrees in law and library and information science has increased dramatically in recent years. The joint J.D./M.L.I.S. degree prepares you for a career as a law librarian in academic, governmental, and law firm settings.
As a candidate in this program, you will study law courses during your first year, adding courses from the the Department of Library and Information Science in the School of Informatics and Computing during the remaining three years.
You will be required to participate in a law library internship and write a research paper covering a topic that is relevant to both areas and supervised by faculty members from both schools.
Students wishing to pursue a dual degree must submit the Dual Degree Intent Form.
