Definition of Cohorts
Unlike all the
other students in UGA's SLM programs, there is no specific cohort plan
for you if you already have S5 certification in Library
Media. However, you may certainly earn
your Ed.S. in Learning, Design, & Technology with certification at
the S6
level here. The good news is that you will have a great deal of
freedom and flexibility in the design of your program.
The first step is to meet with your advisor, who has up-to-date information about course offerings and can counsel you about how to provide advanced competencies for media specialists. The Ed.S. degree consists of a minimum of 30 semester hours.
Please note that you should not repeat a course you've already taken. For any course already taken, substitute an elective. There are exceptions - discuss with your advisor.
The Advising Guide lists the following required courses:
These courses are highly recommended by the SLM faculty:
