Nevada-Utah Cohort

The Department of Information Science is offering its ALA-accredited Master’s degree program with majors in Library Science or Information Science to students residing in Nevada and Utah, beginning Fall 2019. This program is available to persons living in Nevada and Utah, as well as the surrounding states.

Students enrolled in the cohort will earn their Master’s degree by attending a two-day institute in the fall semester and a one-day institute in the spring semester, and complete the remainder of their coursework online!  

Note: The Nevada-Utah cohort will not have a dedicated face to face meeting for the Spring 2020 semester. The Nevada-Utah section is being combined with the El Paso cohort sections, due to enrollment. Students have the option of traveling to attend the El Paso cohort if they choose to, or they can attend an online Zoom meeting session. The balance of the course is online for the rest of the semester.      

The El Paso cohort Spring 2020 Institute will be held on Saturday, January 18, 2020, at the Double Tree by Hilton, El Paso Downtown, 600 N. El Paso Street, TX, 79901.

The Institute portion of the Master’s program includes an orientation, advising session with the cohort director, technology training, and instruction in the core courses as well as time to socialize with fellow students, faculty and professionals in the LIS field. This group will form social bonds during the Institutes that will continue and expand throughout the online portion of the program using a variety of communication tools. The Department is committed to this cohort approach as it provides the foundation for a vibrant learning community.

Each of these individuals is committed to the Nevada/Utah Cohort and can be reached by email, postal mail, fax and phone.
