Bachelor of Arts in Library and Information Science During the first two years at the university, the library and information science (LIS) major should acquire a broad general education in the liberal arts and sciences. Library and information science courses for the undergraduate major or minor begin in the junior year and end in the senior year. LIS majors are advised to concentrate elective hours in one subject field, professional area, or language in order to qualify for better library positions. Students desiring to prepare for positions in public, academic, or corporate libraries or information centers, or other information professions should follow the general Bachelor of Arts degree program and complete thirty-nine (39) credit hours of LIS courses. Students must also complete the requirements for a minor or a dual major in another field, and complete sufficient elective hours from any departments of the university to complete the 124 semester hours required for a degree. Students should consult their adviser when planning their minor or dual major. General degree requirements may be found in The University of Southern Mississippi's Undergraduate Bulletin.
