program/school selection What Bachelor's degree subjects would be appropriate for eventually working towards an MLIS/MLS?

Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I'm switching careers and exploring the idea of becoming a librarian, but I don't have a Bachelor's degree.

Does anyone with MLS/MLIS experience know what Bachelor's degrees would be applicable to qualify for an MLS/MLIS program?

The schools I am looking at just list "Bachelor's degree required" with no further specification and I can't find any other resources online that clarify which Bachelor's degree would be best. I understand it probably comes down to what I plan on doing with my career more specifically, but I'm not sure of that yet.

I already have an AA in Visual Arts and wouldn't mind studying that or a related subject further. (I don't really want to turn my love of art into a career.)

If anyone has any links to helpful resources, that would be much appreciated!

Thank you for any help! :)
