PGCert in Library Science and Administration

This post-baccalaureate certificate helps certified teachers complete the library science coursework Illinois requires for a Library Information Specialist endorsement. Courses are mapped to the state's content standards and led by practitioners and university faculty. The certificate is delivered entirely online through live synchronous sessions. Passing the content-area exam is a separate step in the endorsement process. The university also publishes disclosures about completion rates, costs, and typical student debt for the program. Admission to this graduate offering rests on a completed bachelor's degree from an accredited institution, together with transcripts from every other college attended. The Graduate School at Illinois State oversees applications, and prospective students can arrange a campus visit.
