91´«Ã½

The 91´«Ã½ (91´«Ã½) accredits master's programs in library and information studies across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.

Graduating from an 91´«Ã½-accredited program provides flexibility in the types of libraries and jobs you can apply for and enhances career mobility. Many employers require an 91´«Ã½-accredited master's degree for professional-level positions, and some states require an 91´«Ã½-accredited degree to work as a professional librarian in public or school libraries.
