Master of Library and Information Science and Master of Arts in Hawaiian Studies

The dual Master's degree option allows students to enroll in and complete two degree programs concurrently, sharing a maximum of nine credits between the two programs. Applicants interested in applying for dual degrees must submit separate applications to each of the two programs, entry requirements for both graduate programs must be met and both programs must be started during the same semester (except for Law). Consider, also, that while LIS accepts new students in Fall and Spring semesters, other programs may only accept new students in the Fall.
Of the 33 credits required for this MA degree, the Library & Information Science Program accepts 9 credits at the 600 level. Thus only 30 LIS credits for the MLISc are needed instead of 39, for a total of 63 credits for both degrees.

Students are admitted to the Program in the fall & spring semesters. Applicants must hold a (4-year) bachelor's degree (B.A. or B.S.) from an accredited college or university in any major. Evidence of above average scholastic ability and promise for successful graduate study, shown by graduation with a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher is also required.
All international applicants are required to submit one transcript or academic record from each institution of higher education attended, including any study abroad or exchange programs, summer programs, and non-degree work and extension programs. Applicants may submit unofficial copies of transcripts while applying for admission. However, admitted students are required to submit official transcripts in order to enroll at UHM. Official transcripts or academic records must be sent to Graduate Division Student Services directly from the issuing institution(s), or in sealed institutional envelopes if submitted with the application.
