LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO

2024-2025 CATALOG

The Academic Catalog is the official listing of courses, programs of study, academic policies and degree requirements for Loyola University Chicago. It is published every year in advance of the next academic year.

Public History Program with Dominican University (MA/MLIS)

The Loyola Department of History and the Graduate School of Library and Information Science (GSLIS) of Dominican University in River Forest, IL, cooperate to offer a joint program leading to two separate degrees: Master of Arts in Public History and Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS).  The joint program allows students to complete work on the two degrees in a shorter time than if each degree were pursued separately.

Academic Areas of Focus

The joining of two applied degree programs, public history and library and information science, provides interested students with the opportunity to combine historical training with a more focused educational background in archives and library and information science. The Loyola University Chicago degree grounds graduates in the use of public history methods and theories and strengthens their ability to share historical interpretation with a broad range of public audiences.
