Fall 2014 WISE Consortium Courses

Available to UNT Department of Library and Information Sciences (DLIS) Students

 

UNT DLIS is a member of WISE (http://www.wiseeducation.org), a consortium of leading information science education programs. Consortium members make a limited number of seats available in selected online courses to students from other member schools, and the following courses are available for DLIS students for the fall 2014 semester:

• SLIS 5960.071/.075 – Library budgeting: Syracuse University (1 credit hours)
• SLIS 5960.081/.085 – Library fundraising: Syracuse University (1 credit hours)

 

DLIS students taking these courses will register for SLIS 5960 with the section number designated above (.0x1 is for in-state students and .0x5 is for out-of-state students) and pay standard UNT tuition. The school offering the course will submit the final grade for inclusion on the student's UNT transcript.
