Formal admission to both PSU and the Library Media Program is required for participation in any of the Library Media programs.
To be considered for admission, candidates must:
- Hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university with a strong academic record.
- Have a
GPA of 3.0 or higher
- Hold a current teaching license if applying for the endorsement
Admission to the Endorsement and Master's Degree requires two applications:
- PSU Graduate Admission Form (PDF)
- Please check the box for Certificate if you are interested in the Endorsement program and place the code EDML in the boxes under MAJOR(S).
- If you are interested in pursuing a master's degree at the same time or adding course work to your initial license for your master's degree, put the code EDCI in the second set of boxes.
- Please request to be admitted to PSU for the term that you will be taking a PSU class. Students must take a class during their term of admission for their admission to become “official.” If you do not take a class during your term of admission, your admission will be canceled. To avoid having to re-apply, you must complete a form from PSU Admissions to update your term of admission either before or during the term you have been admitted.
- One set of official transcripts from all institutions attended except Portland State University in sealed original envelopes from the institutions
- $50 check made payable to Portland State University. (If you are admitted to another PSU graduate program, you must complete the Request for Change of Major Master's Level GO-19M, and the $50 fee is waived.)
