During the one-hour session, Dr. Sandra Hirsh, iSchool professor and director, will provide an overview of the school’s curricula and describe the school’s award-winning online learning environment. Since all programs are delivered conveniently online, the iSchool is a top choice among Canadian students like Simon Lum and his 70+ student peers who also hail from Canada.

The iSchool offers lifelong learning solutions, including two master’s degree programs. Library staff members and paraprofessionals may be especially interested in the school’s Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) program, which is fully accredited by the American Library Association. Students can tailor the MLIS program to their interests and career goals, with the added benefit of earning an Advanced Certificate in Digital Assets and Services with no additional fees.

For working professionals looking to update their skills and knowledge, the iSchool offers continuing education and professional development opportunities from master’s-level courses and a Post-Master’s Certificate program, to online seminars and the Library 2.0 virtual conference series. A doctoral program is also offered in partnership with Queensland University of Technology, one of Australia’s top research institutions.
