NSU is where success begins. Here professors know their subjects and how to get you ready for a career after you graduate. We empower individuals to become socially responsible global citizens by creating and sustaining a culture of learning and discovery.
The Library Media program prepares candidates for the changing role of the school librarian in a global and technological society. They are prepared to provide leadership in the total education program, participate as active partners in the teaching/learning process, connect learners with ideas and information, and prepare students for life-long learning. They know how to instill a love of reading and can develop opportunities for their students to be effective managers of information.
Candidates who hold an Oklahoma teaching license / certificate can add Library Media Specialist to that credential by passing the approved certification test for school librarians / library-media specialists at the completion of the program. Candidates who do not hold an Oklahoma standard teaching certificate must pass the approved subject test and meet any other alternative certification requirements established by the Oklahoma State Department of Education. There are fees associated with certification testing which is administered by an outside agency under contract with the Oklahoma Office of Educational Quality and Accountability.
Out of state candidates seeking initial licensure and/or certification are advised to contact the appropriate licensing board in their state to determine specific requirements. Northeastern State University cannot confirm whether a particular licensure program meets requirements for licensure outside of Oklahoma.
Employment of librarians and library media specialists is projected to grow 9 percent from 2020 to 2030. About 15,200 openings for librarians and library media specialists are projected each year, on average, over the decade. However, the total number of degrees awarded in Library Science in 2019 was only 6,204. This indicates a 2.39% decline in the number of people in the field. - U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics; Occupational Outlook Handbook

NSU opened its third campus in 2001 in Broken Arrow, welcoming more than 1,050 students. In October 2004, as part of Tulsa County's Vision 2025 program, we began a $26 million expansion that was recently completed. We added nearly 200,000 square feet of science, library, and classroom facilities, offering updated, state-of-the-art facilities for each and every student. We now serve more than 3,000 upper class and graduate students in Broken Arrow, with room to grow. Our Broken Arrow students are typically working adults in their late 20s and early 30s. There are bachelor's and master's degrees in 31 undergraduate and 17 graduate programs offered on this campus. Our class schedules are designed to maximize a student's time on campus by offering the chance to attend one or two nights a week. We offer seminar and workshop courses on weekends, and students can also take courses online and via ITV technology. NSU has developed a close working partnership with Tulsa Community College designed to support a seamless transfer from TCC to NSU, so students can complete their bachelor's degree at NSU. In fact, many TCC students actually take classes at the NSU-Broken Arrow campus, so the transfer to NSU for their junior year feels completely natural. With a strong business base and a fast growing population that recently topped 97,000, Broken Arrow is now the fourth largest city in Oklahoma. NSU-Broken Arrow is ideally situated to serve the educational needs of this dynamic community.
