The Master of Library Science (MLS) program focuses on areas central to 
research and practice in library and
information science. It emphasizes the theoretical and conceptual 
foundations of the field.
The application of the results of scholarly research are related to 
current practices and are
analyzed with the goal of advancing the quality and scope of services in 
a variety of information settings. It provides a
comprehensive foundation for professional careers in all libraries, 
information centers, and other
agencies engaged in information activities.


The Master of Information Management (MIM)  is an innovative program 
that addresses the growing
need of organizations for skilled information professionals who know how 
to strategically manage information
and technology. Every cutting-edge organization needs people with the 
skills the MIM degree offers.
The MIM program meets the growing need organizations have for 
information professionals who
understand the issues of information management; business management; 
computer science; and
information systems. The MIM program fills an empty space among these 
disciplines.


The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) researches how people access, use, and 
communicate information
has become critical to professional success, life-long learning, and 
even government policies.
Information retrieval now is heavily dependent on computer systems, the 
Internet, and mobile devices.
The impact that diverse cultures, emotional affect, and the ever-growing 
digitization of information have is now considered
important to understand. Given this diverse and complex landscape, 
students with wide-ranging interests
or interdisciplinary experience will be well served by the doctoral 
program at Maryland's iSchool.
