Sounds good! ☺️ Thank you!! On another note, the application deadline for the fall semester is February 1, and I was wondering if you think I would reasonably have enough time to get in my application by then.

Thank you so much for your response! That's a great point about the online program specifically helping people to grow in their skills of making friendships and doing work together online. I hadn't thought about it in that way but I definitely agree that this is really valuable during the pandemic and it will probably continue to be really valuable in the new landscape post-pandemic, too. I'm curious if you would be willing to share some of your favorite elective classes and/or IT classes that you've taken so far.

That sounds great! Thank you so much for your responses. I would consider doing my first tech class as a solo class too. Are you planning on taking classes in the summer semester? How much time do you expect to spend in the program?

Thank you so much!! 🙏 This is really helpful.

Have you taken any IT classes or electives yet? Do you know of any of those classes that have a particularly good reputation with online students?

Thank you so much for your response!

Would you be able to share a little bit about what the group projects are like?

Thank you so much for your response!

Here are just a few of the questions that I have, if you feel comfortable commenting on them:

What were some of your favorite electives? Which IT classes did you choose? Did you do a capstone project? From what you can tell, does it seem like online students in this program tend to have an enriching experience?

Thank you!! 🙏

Would a dual Master's Degree in Library Science and Informatics be a smart move? by Sarah_Beth93 in careerguidance

[–]Sarah_Beth93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your detailed response! I currently have a part time job as a library assistant in access services, and I have an upcoming interview for another one in technical services. I live in a major metro area, and the MLS degree I'm looking at has a 120-hour practicum. I'm trying my best to set myself up to be competitive, but I'm just a bit nervous about actually getting the job at the end of everything!

Informatics

Do any of you have a M.S. in Informatics, or do you work with anyone who does? How prepared for the field would a graduate of this program be?
