All courses are taught online at either the UM-Missoula campus or the UM-Western campus: Children's Literature; Young Adult Literature; Reference Resources; Libraries and Technology; Collection Development and the Curriculum; Administration; Library Media Technical Processes; Information Literacy; and the Library Media practicum. During the practicum, students spend 90 hours working in a library and 10 hours in online discussions.

It is recommended that students who are working full time take only one course per semester during the academic year.
The Course Equivalencies and Replacements table defines course equivalencies for people who had already been enrolled in the old program before it was combined with Western. It outlines which courses can be used for each course requirement of the endorsement program.
