The University of Tennessee, School of Information Sciences, in conjunction with the U.S. Institute for Museum and Library Services, has an exciting opportunity for students to earn a Master's Degree in Information Sciences (M.S.) with a specialization in User Experience (UX) and Assessment.  Each student will select a focus area of either academic libraries or UX work in a special setting, such as government or corporate organizations. Applicants with bachelor's degrees in any academic field are eligible to apply. Students graduating with a bachelor's degree in spring or summer 2016 are also eligible to apply.

"Experience Assessment" is an on-campus program that will begin in Fall semester 2016. During the 42-credit hour program students will complete 36 hours of course work and 6 hours of field experience. Every student will receive travel assistance to attend a professional meeting, specialized mentoring, and workplace opportunities in Assessment and UX. Each student will receive full tuition, medical benefits, and an assistantship that includes a yearly stipend from fall 2016 through graduation in May 2018. 

The University of Tennessee M.S. degree in Information Sciences is fully accredited by the American Library Association.
