Nationally Recognized NCATE-AASL Reviewed & Approved School Library Media Education Programs
For school library media specialists, the master's degree from a program accredited by ALA or a master's degree with a specialty in school library media from an educational unit accredited by NCATE is the appropriate first professional degree. Prospective students will want to review the Guidelines for Choosing a Master's Program in Library and Information Studies.
The following is a list (by state) of school library media programs that have been reviewed and approved by AASL's program reviewers using AASL's Standards. Under AASL Standards, program recognition is tied to NCATE unit accreditation. AASL does not review school library media programs that are not affiliated with an NCATE-accredited unit.
The date in parentheses is the date of the next NCATE unit accreditation review. Where the date of the next unit accreditation review has passed, the seven-year review date will be updated as NCATE announces it.
You can also view a list of all programs ever recognized by AASL.
