Library Media Endorsement
The Graduate School of Education offers a program leading to a recommendation for a library media endorsement. The Library Media Endorsement Program consists of a comprehensive set of coursework (27 credits) that prepares students to be competent PreK-12 school librarians. Recommendation for the endorsement, to be added to a current teaching license, is made to Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) when a candidate successfully completes this program (the following courses and two 60-hour practica) and receives passing scores on the Library Media NES/Pearson Exam.
