Career Direction Career Pathways

The School of Information describes numerous Career Pathways for your consideration as a partial list of the diverse career directions you can take with your degree (MARA students may want to focus specifically on the Cultural Heritage and Digital Curation pathways). Graduates with MLIS degrees work in many different organizational environments doing the work described in the career pathways. The career pathways are presented as an introduction to various careers and topics and are intended to be used by students for career planning and course selection.

Each career pathway page begins with a broad description of the pathway, and includes information about employment options, core theory and knowledge, and recommended coursework. Please take time to explore this information.
