Information Science and Technology Professional Development
|
|
|
The College of Information Science and Technology offers opportunities for librarians and information specialists in related fields to update their education or develop new specialties.
This nondegree program provides specialized training beyond the M.S. so that practitioners can update and extend their skills and knowledge. It is not research-oriented and is not intended to provide coursework that can be applied to the IST master's or doctoral degrees. The program leads to a Post-Master's Certificate of Advanced Study awarded through the College of Information Science and Technology.
Admission Requirements-
Applicants must meet all the general requirements for admission to graduate studies and the College of Information Science and Technology, except that they need not submit scores from the Graduate Record Examination. Admissions requirements include: completed graduate application form, photocopies of transcripts from all colleges and/or universities attended, essay, and resume.
In addition, they must have completed a master’s degree in library science, computer or information science, information systems, instructional technology, or software engineering from an accredited program that has prepared them for advanced study in the area chosen for specialization.
Program Requirements-
Students design a program of study in consultation with a faculty adviser, and must complete 8 courses within three calendar years. Such individualized plans often require coursework found in other Drexel departments or other universities, but at least 4 courses must be chosen from Information Science and Technology courses. Students also complete an independent study project, which integrates studies, field experiences, individual reading, and work experience. Successful completion of the certification program requires a cumulative grade point average of 3.0.
