Master of Library Science and Master of Music (MLS/MA)

A Program in Music Librarianship

The job market is excellent for well-prepared music librarians. The best prepared individuals have two master's degrees: one in Music with a concentration in Music History or Music Theory and the other in Library and Information Studies. Thorough preparation also demands first-hand experience of both practical and theoretical matters in the real-world setting of a functioning music library.

Founded in 1979, the program at the University at Buffalo provides such preparation. It is rigorous and requires a minimum of four semesters and three summer sessions for its completion; there are no academic shortcuts in the program. There is some flexibility, however, for students to enhance their qualifications through individually designed projects and studies.
