Even though degree-oriented undergraduate study is not offered in Library and Information Science, the faculty will counsel those undergraduates interested in study in librarianship at USF. The Library and Information Science Master's program is accredited by the American Library Association, and graduates are prepared for professional positions in all types of libraries, media centers, and information agencies.
The Library and Information Science program at the University of South Florida meets the Florida State Board of Education requirements for certification as an Educational Media Specialist (grades K-12). The State of Florida certification is accepted on a reciprocity basis in 28 states. Any student who plans to work as a school media specialist in another state should work out a program which will meet the requirements of that state.
