WISE

Overview

Web-Based Information Science Education

The WISE program is ceasing operations after the Fall 2023 semester. WISE courses will no longer be offered.

What was WISE?

WISE will be ending operations after the Fall 2023 semester. Web–based Information Science Education was a unique opportunity for MLIS and MARA students to take online learning courses from other ALA-accredited U.S. and Canadian schools and some schools from other countries. This expanded the range of specialized classes available to our students.

WISE Requirements

WISE courses will no longer be offered after Fall 2023.

Students currently taking a WISE course registered for the appropriate number of credits of INFO 298. All fees are paid to SJSU and credits are awarded by SJSU which makes the process much easier than transferring credits.

Requirements:

  • Prerequisite (MLIS Students): Completion of INFO 200, 202 and 204; good academic status (not on academic notice); students with more than 43 earned units are not eligible.
  • Prerequisite (MARA Students): Completion of MARA 200, 204 and 210; good academic status (not on academic notice).
  • A maximum of 6 units of INFO 298 can be applied toward completion of the MLIS/MARA degree..
  • INFO 298 is graded as CR/NC (Credit/No Credit). To earn a grade of CR, students must earn a C or better in their WISE class. A grade of C- or lower will result in a grade of NC for INFO 298.
