Hello,

I am the librarian for a College of Applied Science at University of
Cincinnati.  I am serving on a committee that is exploring the creation of a
bachelor's degree related to records management or archives/archival
technology.  We may also be interested in developing a certificate program,
as a start.  This program would be in an applied science context, so there
would likely be an enphasis on hands-on experience and application.

Does anyone know of a current undergraduate program in the US that has this
type of subject focus?  Could anyone weigh in on the potential usefulness of
this degree in the marketplace?  I have tried some searches for studies on
undergrad education in this area, but have found very little.

The fields of records management and archives are a bit new to me, so I
truly appreciate your assistance!

-- Ted
