The MSLS degree track in the Library Science program is accredited by the American Library Association.

Accredited programs adhere to a set of educational requirements and standards, and voluntarily undergo a self-study and review process every five years. Our most recent self-study was 2018, and the date of our next site visit is Spring 2025.
