While Syracuse University offers many different continuing education options, School of Information Studies distance learning courses are currently only open to students matriculated in a degree program. Often, we hear that employers of our MLS distance learning graduates are very excited about how students achieved their degree. MLS graduates who have completed a distance learning program are exposed, de facto, to a great deal of technology. But as our Director of Career Planning points out, most employers do not usually ask how a student received their graduate degree. They are interested in Syracuse's graduate program regarding content.
Employers are most interested in the skills that the student brings to the table.
The MLS provides content that allows for skill development and a broad knowledge of the field, with practical experience in the form of internship.
