Online M.S. in Library Media (Teacher Librarian)

Fisher’s online library media program leads not only to initial certification as a library media specialist, but also to professional certification in your original initial teaching certificate area.

The program effectively prepares you to undertake the productive, critical, and efficient use of libraries, media, and information technology. You also will learn many ways to contribute, in a collaborative manner, to student literacy and inquiry skills.

The program is designed for those who hold initial teacher certification and wish to specialize in library media. As a library media graduate, you may also apply for your certificate as a public librarian. See licensure disclosure.
