Graduate Academic Certificate in Children’s and Young Adult Library and Community Services

University of North Texas

The graduate academic certificate in children’s and young adult library and community services provides students with core knowledge in services, programs, literature and information organization for children and teens. Graduates will develop skills to effectively organize and deliver programs and services for children and teens in culturally diverse communities. This GAC responds to the ongoing need for library professionals with cutting-edge knowledge and skills to work with contemporary children and teens, as cited in American Library Association research.

Note: This GAC is not the same as school librarianship. Teachers seeking state certification for school librarianship must apply to the school library certification program.
