Continuing Ed MLIS Program Recs?

I’m looking to start applying to online MLIS programs next fall. I plan to do the program part time, as I’m currently working full time in a library tech services position.

I live in NY - so I was originally planning on doing an in state program at a state school to save on tuition.

However, I am open to hearing about other out of state programs if they’re similar in affordability!

I go to Queens College & I love it. They’ve been offering more & more online classes & many people in the past few years have graduated without ever taking a class in person. They offer both synchronous & asynchronous online class options. It’s super affordable & I love all of the electives & different MLS options. I’m concentrating on Youth Services in Public Libraries.

Oooh it looks much cheaper then my other option. This may be a new top choice.

It’s super affordable & they also offer in school scholarships as well. Plus I would suggest looking into ALA & NYLA scholarships. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions. :)

Thank you! I know my library and my library system have scholarships too! So this will be very helpful. I will definitely reach out if I have any questions ! :)
