In the Louisville collaboration the School intends to offer a minimum of 6 courses, or 18 credit hours, in Louisville over the period fall 1999-spring 2002. However, the School will not offer its entire 36 credit hour master's program in Louisville. The master's degree program requires satisfactory completion of 36 credit hours and of the final written examination. In addition, the student must take at least one from among 4 qualifying technology courses. In order to be considered for fall admission, a complete application must be received by July 1.
Most students pursue the master of science in library science.
With that degree, there is no foreign language requirement, nor is a thesis required. With the master of arts, there is a foreign language requirement, and the student may write a master's thesis. In addition to the 4 core courses, the student must take at least one from among the qualifying technology courses. In scheduling courses, the School will attempt to accommodate the needs of those in the Louisville collaboration to take certain courses in Lexington. In planning a course of study, a student should bear in mind the need to satisfy prerequisite requirements.
