The concentration in archival studies within the
MALS program offers students a cross-disciplinary program of study
consistent with recommendations of the Society of American
Archivists. Students take core courses in liberal studies, as well
as core courses in archival studies. Electives come from three
categories: library science, management, and a subject field. A
practicum at a local repository is an elective option.
