Indiana University offers a unique dual degree combining both a Masters of Library Science (M.L.S.) and a Master of Arts (M.A.) in Folklore and Ethnomusicology, with a focus in either the Folklore or Ethnomusicology track. Administered in collaboration between the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering and the College of Arts and Sciences, this one-of-a-kind joint degree combines appreciation of the range of traditional expressive culture worldwide with tools and methods for the preservation, dissemination, and advancement of cultural knowledge. You’ll benefit from the expertise of top scholars in two departments and graduate in as little as five semesters.
