Lori can't post to the listserv, but here is her reply regarding the 
San Jose MARA degree:

Dear all,

I have been forwarded this thread from a colleague.  I am the chief 
architect of the new MARA degree at San Jose.

I would be interested in knowing where you were able to locate the 
course titles and descriptions, as we have not publicly released them 
yet?  I don't believe I designed this curriculum with a primary 
emphasis on archives and do believe the course titles reflect that.

The course titles and descriptions currently on our website for the 
MLIS are NOT the course titles or course descriptions for ANY of the 
courses in the MARA degree.  Students will not be able to transfer any 
courses from the MLIS to the MARA and there are no course equivalents.

For a tentative list of course titles, I suggest you visit our SLIS21 
blog .  Search "MARA".  

Sincerely,
Lori
