MS Comp. Exam Decision DUE
Attention all master’s students graduating in Spring or Summer 2026:
Last year, SILS faculty approved a new comprehensive exam process that will be in effect for all MSIS and MSLS students entering our program in Fall 2026 or later. As current students, you have the option to take our existing, essay-based exam or to opt into the new, portfolio-based process. To help you choose, more information about each option is attached and is also available online at bit.ly/SILScomp.
All students graduating in Spring or Summer 2026 must indicate their choice of exam format by completing the survey linked here no later than Wednesday, December 3, 2025.
Feel reach out to Casey Rawson (crawson@email.unc.edu) if you have questions you would like an answer to before submitting your choice.
