Hi Matthew and others

If you do want to take a specialist Records degree you may need to cast
your net a little further afield.  There are a number of Records
Management Masters degree courses that you can take by distance learning
from the UK.  

Both of the courses listed below are available through distance learning
over the internet, which could make it a more viable proposition.  I
also know that Northumbria has had people on their masters' course from
overseas.

rds_management_information_rights_msc.htm

I don't think any of the programs currently have CRM accreditation, but
they are dedicated masters degree programs - there are more, if you want
to see what else is on offer go to  www.prospects.ac.uk


Good luck
Paula

"Matthew:

I am curious as to what MLIS program you are going to apply to that
offers a
specialization in RIM.  Can you share that with the list?"
Dear Stephen,

Thank you for asking, I am very interested in hearing your and other's
thoughts of these programs.  No program that I found offered a
"specialization" in just Records and Information Management.  In the
case of
four of the programs I found I would take courses relevant to Records
and
Information Management within their Archives and Records Administration
program.  I also chose the University of Illinois, Urbana Champagne
because
they allow you to design your own program and offer some courses
relevant to
records and information management.

Of these programs, only two; the University of Texas, Austin, and the
University of Long Island, C.W. Post had Certified Records Managers
teaching
at least one of the records management courses.

Here is the list, I appreciate any feedback anyone may have.
