How You’ll Learn

  • Our fully online asynchronous courses are either 5 or 10 weeks long. Some teaching licensure programs require student teaching, which takes place over 15 weeks. Classes are similarly formatted so that you can balance the course expectations with your work and family life.
  • Most students take one course at a time, but you may complete your program more quickly if desired.
  • Should you wish to earn a degree in the future, certificate courses are credit-bearing and transferable, giving you an accelerated pathway.

A Note About Licensure

Graduates of programs which are approved to lead to licensure, endorsement, or certification may be subject to additional requirements for the receipt of initial licensure, endorsement, or certification in the state in which they intend to teach or administrate.
Students are strongly encouraged to check licensure requirements in the state in which they intend to teach or administrate to determine whether they are eligible for licensure, endorsement, or certification.

It is vitally important that students know and be continually aware of the requirements for licensure in their state. State licensing requirements and licensing agency information may be found here.
