On <time datetime=\"2017-10-13\">Friday, October 13<\/time>, the department emailed its constituents to inform them about the launch of two new graduate certificates and name adjustments to two current degree titles.<\/p>\n<p>Effective immediately, SISLT will offer two new emphasis areas of their graduate certificate programs: <a href=\"https:\/\/cehd.missouri.edu\/information-science-learning-technologies\/certificates\/digital-humanities\/\">Digital Humanities<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/cehd.missouri.edu\/information-science-learning-technologies\/certificates\/user-experience-and-usability\/\">User Experience and Usability<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The MU Graduate Certificate in Digital Humanities (GCDH) is a 12-credit hour, interdisciplinary Master&#8217;s\/Ph.D. certification. Courses are offered via online and hybrid delivery. Upon completion, students will be equipped with skills in interdisciplinary research using new digital technologies\u2014skills that university researchers and public and private sector employers recognize as essential in the 21st century.<\/p>\n<p>The 12-credit hour User Experience and Usability (UXU) Certificate, offered 100 percent online, prepares students to design and evaluate technology tools and information systems. The multi-faceted human-centered lens for design and evaluation is a systematic process supported by research and best practices. It is uniquely positioned in the area of usability because our Information Experience Laboratory (IE Lab) performs extensive usability and user experience research with internal and external clients. Upon completion, students will be prepared for jobs in an expanding field where UXU competencies are used in education, industry, healthcare, museums and other learning and performance settings.<\/p>\n<p>Effective spring 2018, the following Information Science &amp; Learning Technologies degrees will change:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Current title: Master of Arts, Information Science &amp; Learning Technologies\n<ul>\n<li>New title: Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Current title: Master of Education, Information Science &amp;
