I am currently wrapping up my undergraduate degree at UARK and am looking for graduate programs for Fall 2027. I am looking at MLIS programs but I have hit a roadblock. There are no programs in Arkansas and I refuse to go back to my home state of Kansas to study. I used to live on the East Coast and really miss it, so I am thinking about potentially looking for programs there. But I want to know what would be more doable: going to a school in a different state and studying in person, or doing it online and try to find a career-centered full time job in a different state? I just want to make the smartest decision and am having a really hard time making a choice. If anyone can give any insight, I would really appreciate it.
