CLA-Drexel Online Partnership Benefits CLA Members
Members receive a 20% tuition reduction on top-ranked information science programs
Drexel University Online recently formed a new educational partnership with the California Library Association. Through this partnership, CLA members are entitled to receive a 20% tuition reduction on online programs offered through The iSchool at Drexel (College of Information Science and Technology). Drexel Online is pleased to offer CLA members the opportunity to advance their education in a convenient online format at reduced tuition rates.
Drexel's MS in Library and Information Science is ranked among the top 10 library science programs in the nation by U.S.News & World Report. This ALA-accredited program is available to CLA members online as well as face-to-face at Drexel University's Center for Graduate Studies in Sacramento. With access to classes online 24/7, CLA members can earn a distinguished degree without career interruption.
"We are thrilled to partner with such a forward-thinking organization and we look forward to supporting CLA's commitment to improve library service and education throughout California," said Dr. Kenneth Hartman, Academic Director of Drexel University Online. "This non-exclusive partnership offers CLA members a convenient and affordable way to advance their education and develop the skills necessary to move up in the field of library science and information systems."
David E. Fenske, Dean of the iSchool, adds, "We value our relationship with the California Library Association, and are pleased to be in the state offering another educational choice to California residents. The iSchool maintains a physical presence in California through the Drexel University Center for Graduate Studies in Sacramento, as well as the online program, providing students with both online and on-campus course options."
