We know how to deliver online learning because we've been doing it for more than 20 years, continually implementing best practices—starting first with the online “Leep” program for our MS in library and information science (MS/LIS). Our experience and commitment to innovation provides an unparalleled professional education that meets your needs.
*As an academic unit, the iSchool is the fifth largest home for international students on campus. According to the 2018 Open Doors report, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is the second top destination for international students attending public universities in the U.S.
The MS/LIS online program, Leep, enabled me to pursue and complete my degree without disrupting my family responsibilities and other obligations. I still enjoyed the experience of real-time engagement with my professors and peers, while living and working at home. I've been through many types of online learning, and the design of Leep most closely models the traditional on-campus classroom experience.
