Simmons College

Who chooses Simmons for graduate education in library and information science? People like you. For starters, we're all passionate about books, especially the ideas and ideals that books convey.

GSLIS people are explorers. As library and information professionals, they are driven to discover — and compelled by a desire to help others find answers. Moreover, a Simmons GSLIS education is guided by one of the first principles of American philosophy: that open and unfettered access to information is the bedrock of democracy. That's why alumni, faculty, and students are often on the front lines of social justice, working to defend First Amendment rights or overcome the "digital divide" that separates those with access to information from those without it.

Library and information professionals have become indispensable resources in the ever-changing social economy of the 21st century. As a result, many people are entering the profession, often moving from other careers in search of more meaningful and stimulating work. Indeed, nearly 60 percent of GSLIS students come from other disciplines.
