Certificate Requirements

  • 18 credit hours

Certificate completion requires 18 credit hours in the approved program of study with a minimum 3.000 GPA. Candidates are expected to complete the program within six years or less. Candidates who receive more than one grade below C+ will be dismissed from the program. All academic policies of the Graduate School apply (as specified in the current catalog at the time of admission).

Other graduate coursework for middle and secondary teachers may be necessary to obtain add-on certification from the South Carolina Department of Education.

Note:
