Students enrolled in the Certificate of Advanced Study (CAS) Program are
interested in increasing their knowledge about preservation through a structured
program of individualized study beyond the MLIS degree. The CAS/LIS program
is a terminal program leading to a certificate rather than a degree. It
is undertaken by MLIS graduates intending to pursue library or archival
preservation as a full-time career option.

criteria:

possession of a master's degree from a program accredited by the American
Library Association, with a grade point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0) scale,
or equivalent qualification;
-

and motivation to pursue professional studies at a level beyond the master's
degree;
-
choice of an advisor who agrees to direct student's work in the program.
CAS/LIS Program Requirements
To receive the CAS/LIS the student shall complete a total of 24 credits
of course work acceptable to the advisor and completed with the grade of
