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.
(We hope that one day, we will.) However, you may certainly earn
your Ed.S. in Instructional 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.
The Advising Guide lists the following required courses:
