Library Media Endorsement

The Graduate School of Education is accepting applications for the Library/Media Endorsement program in Fall 2015.  Admitted students will need to complete the endorsement program by the end of the summer 2016 term.

The Graduate School of Education offers a graduate-level 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 90-hour practica) and receives passing scores on the Library Media NES/Pearson Exam.
