To become a librarian, you typically have to earn a master’s in library science. Here’s what it takes to get this degree.

Library science bachelor’s programs are interdisciplinary in nature, integrating principles of information systems and technology, statistics and the liberal arts.

Master’s programs in library science can usually be finished within two years and some can be finished within a single year.

The program funds up to eight fellows per year from the five Master's in Library Science programs in the UNC System to learn how to teach with primary sources.
