The Library Media and Information Technology Program endorses the AASL National School Library Standards for Learners, School Librarians, and School Libraries.
The Library Media and Information Technology Program at NSU prepares individuals to be successful school librarians and equips them with both theoretical and practical knowledge of schools, learners, and best practices.
The Library Media and Information Technology Program prepares candidates to effectively:
- participate as active partners in the teaching and learning process.
- use strategies to foster learner motivation to read for learning, personal growth, and enjoyment.
- lead and collaborate with members of the learning community to effectively design and implement solutions that positively impact learner growth and strengthen the role of the school library.
- evaluate information and resources to support the school's curriculum and learning goals.
- model and teach ethical use of information and technology in the creation of new knowledge.

Licensure Programs
Northeastern State University offers initial teacher licensure programs at the traditional undergraduate level for graduates wishing to teach in Oklahoma. We also offer advanced licensure programs and programs for other school professionals at the graduate level. We do not guarantee to meet the licensure requirements of other states. You will be responsible for verifying that your program of study meets your desired state's licensure requirements.
Professional Licensure Disclosure
Programs at Northeastern State University that prepare students for initial licensure as educators are designed to meet the licensure standards set by the Oklahoma State Department of Education. Students seeking licensure in another state are advised to contact the appropriate licensing board in that state to determine specific requirements of guidelines for reciprocity. Northeastern State University cannot confirm whether a particular licensure program meets requirements for licensure outside of the State of Oklahoma. For a list of the state departments of education that oversee professional teaching licensure, see the U.S. Department of Education website - State Contacts page.
