What are the admission requirements for library school?

Admission requirements vary from school to school, but most schools generally require a bachelor's degree and a minimum grade point average (usually a B). Many programs also require a minimum score on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE).  Some have no test requirements or will take test scores from alternative examinations, such as the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) or the Miller Analogies Test.

Many schools require letters of recommendation, and some hold personal interviews or request a statement of educational objectives from the applicant. Most schools also require a basic level of proficiency in the use of computers. Be sure to check the individual school's web site for more specific information about admission requirements, especially application deadlines.
