Endorsements ONLY

1. School Librarian Endorsement Requirements (30 hours)
   • Take all of the following:
     • TE 810, Design and Development of Instruction - 3 hours
     • TE 868, Copyright, Fair Use, and Ethics - 3 hours
     • TE 869, Introduction to School Library Program - 3 hours
     • TE 870, Developing Web-based Portfolios - 3 hours
     • TE 871, Collection Development and Management - 3 hours
     • TE 872, Organization of School Library and Technology Resources - 3 hours
     • TE 873, Reference Services and Resources - 3 hours
     • TE 875, Administration of the School Library - 3 hours
     • TE 893, Field Experiences in School Library - 3 hours
     • Approved Electives - 3 hours
   • Please note: Unless a student already has a master degree and does not wish to earn a second one, the faculty highly recommend that instead of working on the School Librarian endorsement only program, the students should get admitted to the graduate program and work on the School Librarian concentration program - the difference is six hours. The Graduate College's policy is to allow up to 12 hours of work taken in a non-degree status to transfer in to a degree program. Therefore, if a student has taken 30 hours for the endorsement and THEN decides to enroll in the degree program, the Graduate College has the option of "rejecting" all the hours beyond 12. So if there is a possibility a student "might someday" enroll in a master degree program, the faculty recommend getting admitted into the degree program now. Students can attain endorsements without getting the degree, even if they are in the degree program. Students should contact advisors with any questions about this or any other aspect of the program.
