About the School
Dominican University has been educating future librarians and information professionals in the Chicago area since 1930, when (then) Rosary College established a Department of Library Science that awarded Bachelor of Arts degrees. By 1949, the College was offering the Master of Arts degree in Library Science, a degree accredited by the American Library Association (ALA) since 1962. By 1970, the department had evolved into Rosary College’s first graduate school, expanding its reach and reputation between 1981 and 2016 as the Graduate School of Library and Information Science. Renamed the School of Information Studies in 2016, Dominican University continues to strengthen its identity and reputation as a national leader in library, information science, and information management education building on its distinguished 75-year history.
Today, the SOIS enrolls more than 300 students across its programs, which include the ALA-accredited Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS); the Master of Professional Studies in Library and Information Science (MPS); the Master of Science in Information Management (MSIM); the Master of Arts in Youth Literature (MAYL); the Doctor of Philosophy in Library and Information Science (Dominican’s first and only PhD); and the School of Information Studies’ first undergraduate major and minor, Informatics. The SOIS is led by a Director of the School of Information Studies, and the faculty includes eleven full-time tenure-track faculty members.
All School of Information Studies programs balance rigorous attention to both theory and practice and are taught by accomplished and engaged professors. Students have access to practical learning experiences in the many information-rich organizations in Chicago, including businesses, universities, libraries, museums, and cultural heritage institutions.
