GSLIS is one of six academic programs that make up the Harrington School of Communication and Media, uniting faculty and individual strengths to provide enhanced resources for students. The Harrington School of Communication prepares graduates for careers, citizenship and life in a rapidly-changing global economy. We use the power of communication and digital media to make a difference in the world.
We are proud to be among the few handful of programs that integrate library and information studies into a comprehensive program of communication and media studies. Our graduates benefit from opportunities to engage in real-world learning, developing competencies as information professionals, educators and effective communicators.
