The American Library Association recently granted reaccreditation to the College of Applied Sciences and Arts’ School of Library and Information Science’s master’s of library and information science program. The San Jose State University program went through a vigorous review with the ALA accreditation committee to receive the full accreditation for another seven years, through 2021.

“We are elated to receive full reaccreditation from ALA,” said Director Dr. Sandra Hirsh, in a blog post on the School of Library and Information Science’s website. “Over the past year, our faculty and staff have worked extremely hard to demonstrate our adherence to ALA standards and represent the excellence of our MLIS program. I am grateful to everyone who played a role in the reaccreditation process.”

The School of Library and Information Science offers a fully-online MLIS program as well as a master’s degree in Archives and Records Administration and a post-master’s certificate in Library and Information Science.
