What are the steps involved in pursuing licensure thru the Center for Information Media?
Supposing you already have a valid Minnesota teaching license and, possibly, prior course work that could apply, set up a “contract” with the licensure adviser that specifies the courses you will need to complete in order for SCSU’s Center for Information Media to certify you as a Library Media Specialist. Accomplishing this often requires a meeting with the adviser, though many, if not all, details can be taken care of via e-mail, phone, mail, and fax. If you are not pursuing a Masters Degree with us (see below), the contract becomes your plan for accomplishing licensure. There is no formal admission process so you can begin taking classes as soon as registration opens for the next semester. Here is a link to the licensure program plan options for those already in possession of a teaching license. For those NOT in possession of a teaching license, here is a link to a basic licensure/degree program planning grid.
