The LIS LibGuide at The University of Iowa Libraries
![]() |
The School has established formal joint degree programs with the Colleges of Law and Business and a formal joint certificate program with The University of Iowa Center for the Book. The primary goal of these joint programs is the integration of two areas of study.
To enroll in a joint program, students must be admitted to the School of Library and Information Science and to the other unit. Up to 9 semester hours of such study in the other area may be applied toward the M.A. in Library and Information Science. And, up to 9 LIS hours may be applied toward the M.B.A. or Certificate in Book Studies, or 12 semester hours to the J.D.
In addition to these formal joint programs, arrangements can be made for joint programs between departments on an individual basis.
