Admission is limited to about two persons per year. Information on the combined plan may be obtained from the Pre-Law advisor, Kimberly Smith. Application should be made early in the junior year. A master's degree from a library school accredited by the American Library Association is the normal credential needed by those planning a career in librarianship. The B.A. degree with a broad general background in the arts and sciences is the best preparation for library school.
Any undergraduate major is normally acceptable.
However, many professional library positions require a second master's degree in addition to one in library science or other additional training. Students with an interest in librarianship may be able to gain some limited practical experience through various student jobs in the College library. It is suggested that students discuss questions relating to preparation for medical training with the chair of the Advisory Committee on Health Professions Programs. Most students who plan to enter medicine, veterinary medicine, or dentistry major in a science, but a major in any field is acceptable to most medical, veterinary medical, or dental schools, providing certain basic science courses are included. The specific requirements of the various medical schools are listed in Medical School Admissions Requirements.
