Recommended Schedule for Part-time Intern Option Students
The Intern Option of the School Library Certification Program is for those students who do not hold a teaching certificate and requires a total of 51 credits of required coursework that includes a 6-credit Practicum experience in a school library. Students who complete the program earn both the Master of Library and Information Science degree and an Instructional 1 teaching certificate in Library Science, K-12, from the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
This schedule meets the requirements of 51 credits based on two courses per term for eight terms with the understanding that course scheduling in Library and Information Science and in Education will be more difficult to predict. Education courses may be taken at another institution with the prior approval of the Director of the School Library Certification Program.
