The Graduate Certificate in Teaching is for students seeking an alternative route to professional certification in Florida. The certificate offers a subset of the M.A.T. degree program. The program is only available to individuals who hold bachelor's degrees and are current teachers with three-year temporary teaching certificates. It consists of five graduate courses that prepare teachers for state certification. Up to 15 credits of the graduate certificate may be applied within five years to the M.A.T. degree.
To accommodate the schedules of our students all classes are offered in the late afternoon, evening, or during the summer.
Application fees are waived for this program and the GRE is not required.
Florida teachers enrolled in this program are eligible for one-third off regular tuition.
An applicant must have a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in mathematics or science, or in an area in which state certification is sought, and be currently teaching with a temporary certificate.
For general admissions requirements, please refer to the Graduate Information and Regulations section of the catalog.
The program can be completed on a part-time or full-time basis, and requires a minimum of 30 credit hours (10 courses).
