Students in the graduate certificate program are required to complete six courses (18 credits) plus a teaching internship (3 credits), as outlined below.

Foundation Courses, 6 credits:

Required Certificate Courses, 12 credits:

The Foundation Courses may be taken for either graduate or undergraduate credit. If taken at the graduate level, they will count toward the Certificate GPA. All remaining courses must be taken for graduate credit.

NB: Students are not allowed to enroll for both U and G courses in a single semester, so Foundation Courses taken in the same semester as Required Certificate Courses must be taken at the G level.

Students receive the certificate upon completion of all of the required graduate coursework and the teaching internship with a GPA of 3.0 or better.

There is a time limit of three years from initial enrollment for completion of the certificate.
