"I really liked that they were going to be smaller class sizes, so I felt I was going to have better interactions. And I could complete this program in a year and walk away with a teaching certificate, so it checked every box for me."
–Alicia Janke MSEd '21

  • Advanced Certificate: You need to complete only 15 credits with a minimum GPA of 3.0 to receive certification through our Advanced Certificate Program. And if you decide to continue your graduate studies and pursue a master’s degree, the credits may be carried over.
  • Non-Degree Study: You can take graduate-level classes without pursuing a degree or certificate. If you decide to earn a graduate degree, the credits earned in non-degree study will apply toward your chosen master’s program. Start your non-degree enrollment here.
