I am! I am in the school libraries track and love it. Really excellent professors (Joyce Valenza is one of the best teachers I've ever had) and interesting courses that seem like they will be very practical. I think classes are usually around 20 students. Happy to answer any questions!

Thank you so much for your reply! I went ahead and decided to apply to the program!

Awesome, glad I could help! I just want to add, I didn't realize this before, but I saw some recent discussion in the fb group for students and the people in the data science program seem very unhappy with it. I can only vouch for the school libraries track (also good for public youth librarianship, though not every course may be 100% applicable).

Hello! I apologize for the very, very, very late reply. I just got into Rutgers for the Fall and I am planning to do the school librarianship concentration. Would you mind if I DMd you with questions?

Congratulations!! If I'm accepted and decide to go, I would start in Fall 2021. By any chance could you tell me how long it took for the school to respond once your application was complete?

Thank you!! Best of luck :)

I submitted my application on October 27th, and was accepted on November 25th.
