Top Schools

Ultimately, your choice in the pathway and occupation you wish to go into are going to help you decide on which school is the right fit for you? Some schools might focus more on the information technology aspects, while others might provide more opportunities for academic or public librarianship.

However, if you are looking for an overall ranking of each program, websites like U.S. News host such lists. Rankings are usually 1-2 years old so keep this in mind when exploring.

Personal Choices in a school should rely on these main criteria:
