This directory provides a comprehensive list of institutions offering ALA-accredited Master’s Programs in Library and Information Studies. To explore specific program criteria such as location, distance education options, or areas of concentration and career pathways, please visit the ALA-accredited programs searchable database at: http://www.ala.org/accreditedprograms/directory/search.
The directory includes details about all ALA-accredited library and information studies programs. Each program is listed alphabetically by institution and includes essential information such as contact details, the program’s name, accreditation status, accreditation expiration date, distance education availability, and specializations or career-focused pathways. For specific questions, contact the program directly. Please note that the ALA only accredits master’s programs in the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom.
Programs in this directory hold one of four accreditation statuses:
• Conditional Accreditation: Assigned to programs required to make changes to meet accreditation standards. These programs remain accredited and are included in the directory. Conditional status may follow a comprehensive review or a Notice of Concern.
• Continued Accreditation: Also referred to as “accredited,” this status is granted to programs that meet the Standards for Accreditation after a thorough review.
• Initial Accreditation: Awarded to programs that have met accreditation standards for the first time following a period of Candidacy and review. This status applies retroactively to students who completed their degree up to 24 months before the accreditation was granted.
• Withdrawn, Appeal Pending: While a program appeals an accreditation withdrawal, it retains Conditional accreditation status regarding student status and reporting requirements. If a program loses accreditation, students enrolled before the withdrawal and who complete their degree within 24 months are considered graduates of an ALA-accredited program.
For further details on accreditation statuses, please refer to the Accreditation Process, Policies, and Procedures (AP3) available online at www.ala.org/accreditation.
