This study aims to determine the perception of Library Science students towards the stigma of the department at UIN Sumatera Utara (UINSU) and the relationship between the stigma of the department and students' perceptions. This study used a quantitative method with a descriptive-correlational design. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire to 80 active students selected using a stratified random sampling technique, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation tests with IBM SPSS Statistics. The results showed that students were aware of the negative stigma towards the Library Science department, but remained proud and had a good understanding of the field. The Pearson correlation test showed a significance value of 0.162 (>0.05), so there was no significant relationship between the stigma of the department and students' perceptions.
