The University of British Columbia's School of Library, Archival and
Information Studies (SLAIS, the iSchool@UBC) is pleased to announce that the
American Library Association's (ALA) Committee on Accreditation has granted
full accreditation status to our Master of Library and Information Studies
(MLIS) program. Conditional accreditation status has been lifted and the
next comprehensive review of the program is scheduled for 2023. 

 

This accomplishment is a testament to the sustained efforts of SLAIS
faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends who, over the past three years,
worked together to implement a learning outcomes assessment program that is
now considered a model within the university.  We gratefully acknowledge the
support and encouragement of the Dean of Arts, Gage Averill, Acting Dean
Kathryn Harrison, and other members of the UBC administration, which was
instrumental in ensuring this positive outcome. We would like to thank all
those who extended support and remained strong advocates of the UBC MLIS
program throughout this process.  

 

The full letters from the External Review Panel and the ALA Accreditation
Committee are available on our website:
