The goals of the Instructional Certification Programs in Graduate Education are to enable classroom teachers to continue their professional development. The programs allow for professionals in the field of education to broaden their areas of expertise and to equip them to move into positions of enhanced responsibility. The program in Teaching allows individuals not presently within the education field to change careers and move into the field of education as certified teachers.
