In this inter-faculty joint degree program, students may complete the Master of Library and Information Studies (MLIS) degree in conjunction with the Master of Arts (MA) in Digital Humanities degree. This is a thesis-based degree program, which typically extends over three years of full-time study.
Program Requirements:
The School of Library and Information Studies and the Digital Humanities program offer a combined MA/MLIS that students can complete within three years. The combined program is offered on-site at the University of Alberta and requires ?45 and a thesis for completion (?18 from MA program and ?27 from MLIS program).
Please Note: Students in an on-campus MLIS program cannot take courses designated for students in the online MLIS. Course listings in Bear Tracks will indicate if a course is restricted to online or on-campus MLIS students.
Required MLIS Courses:
LIS 501: Foundations of Library and Information Studies
LIS 502: Organization of Information
LIS 503: Reference and Information Services
LIS 504: Leadership and Management Principles for Library and Information Services
LIS 505: Research Methods for Library and Information Studies

Required MA Courses:
DH 500: Survey of Digital Humanities
DH 510: Theoretical Issues in Digital Humanities
DH 520: Technical Concepts & Approaches in Digital Humanities
DH 530: Project Design & Management in Digital Humanities
All students must take LIS 501, DH 500, and DH 520 in the first term of their program, as these provide a context for all of the other courses in the program.
Note: The MLIS requirement to complete two (?3 or equivalent) designated Information Technology courses is fulfilled by content covered in the Digital Humanities courses.
Tentative Course Schedule:
Students will typically take three courses per term at ?3 each (or equivalent) with the sixth and final term designated for the thesis.
