New York State certification requires school media students to complete 100 hours of on-site fieldwork in elementary (50 hours) and secondary (50 hours) schools prior to their practicum experiences. These are non-credit experiences monitored by the Fieldwork Coordinator and supervised on-site with a certified library media specialist. These certification requirements are for any school media student, even if you do not live in New York, as they are part of our accredited program requirements.
