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. Most of the courses are offered in the synchronous dual format using Zoom video conferencing technology (see School of Distance Education  Definitions).
