College and University Teaching Certificate

The certificate will provide professional development for college teachers who have no specific training in the craft of teaching. It will also provide students in graduate programs the opportunity to be trained in teaching at the university level if they desire to seek a position as a faculty member in institutions of higher education.

A student taking one course per semester will take two years to complete the program.  

Program Delivery

This program is offered on campus and as an interactive online program (see School of Distance Education  Definitions). The online courses follow fixed enrollment with semester start and end dates. Participants interact with each other and with instructor throughout all courses via Zoom video conferencing technology.
