Hi all! Sorry for getting back late, but I’m so happy for everyone who is going and would love to connect also! I’m going to check out that discord link! I’ve decided to officially to accept the program :). I’m coming from a background in art, and it’s so fun that we will have such a diverse range of people coming in from all backgrounds! In terms of funding - I missed all major deadlines for ALA scholarships not realizing, but I am receiving a small amount of money from an interdepartmental IS fellowship - they told me also that more info will be shared towards the end of the month as well. Hopefully they’ll be able to share more info soon I’m anxiously waiting :)!

Oh yay congrats everyone!!! I’m really leaning towards UCLA as of right now so hopefully we will be classmates! As far as the program goes I heard it’s really really fluid in terms of choosing your specialization or changing as you go. I think they really only have you choose a specialization so that they can match you with a potential advisor and see your interests! I’ve seen people even with like two specialization so I think it all depends like how many specialization classes you take? Like I’m definitely interested in the rare books and print cultures too and hoping to meld it with archival science!! Also I would definitely email Amy a Gershon with any questions she’s been super helpful!! Can I ask what background you are coming in from ??

Hi!!! Fingers crossed for you ! I would definitely reach out to the department they seem really nice and often reply pretty quickly. I talked to Amy Gershon. I just received the notice from the school I was accepted today finally, but still yet to get a departmental email so I’m wondering if they are behind. It never hurts to ask I would definitely shoot them an email!

Yes don't panic! I couldn't imagine applying for grad school while I was in my undergrad so I can only feel for you seeing as how nervous I am as it is! I'll post back on here as soon as I get the ACTUAL email, if that helps any. How wonderful! Yeah I am between programs right now trying to weigh my options. I'm a little nervous about the MLIS because I don't really have a lot of like tech or digital experience and am hoping to navigate the program to work for my interests also! I applied for the Archival Science portion with the goal of getting back into museum work/special collections - hoping it will give me an extra edge when applying for jobs and or fellowships after grad!

Hi!! thank you! Stay calm!! They're supposed to be sending out emails this week! I only accidentally found out because I got a letter in my junkmail about my prospective cost of attendance and provisional financial award! I had to email the department being like - did i get in...? They told me yes, sorry for the mixup, and that I would be receiving a departmental email sometime this week! What focus did you apply under? Fingers crossed!

Hi all! first post - I was accepted to the UCLA MLIS program under archival studies! I have a BA in Art History and have also been accepted to MA Art History programs at other colleges. Trying to find what is right for me. Anyone have experience with the MLIS program who has an interest in art and museum work/special collections? I haven't really seen any posts about the UCLA MLIS except from several years ago. Anyone wanting to also connect who's in the program I would love to talk about it! Thanks!

Also waiting on CSULB for Art History MA. Anyone heard back yet? I believe they will be sending out communications in March but the wait is killing me!

I received an offer for the MA Art History Courtauld for Experiencing Modernism: Utopia, Politics, and Times of Turmoil! I am still waiting to hear back from UCLA for an alternate MLIS program. Next for me starts the confusing part for me which is the financial aspect. Any US student who want to connect who have been accepted for 2021/2022 :)? Congrats for everyone on here getting into their desired programs!
