Entrance to the Certificate of Advanced Studies in Public Library Administration is limited to working professionals who either hold, or aspire to hold, executive management positions in public libraries. All applicants should hold a relevant master's degree (the Master of Science in Library and Information Science M.S.L.I.S.) and a minimum of two years experience in public libraries. The Public Library Administrator's Certificate is designed as a post-M.S.L.I.S cohort program, where students register with the intent to complete all five courses as a group (LIS 700-704). The program is coordinated with regional public library systems acting as partners with the Palmer School to assure a focused and meaningful educational experience for the participants.
