International Education Certificate
Overview
The certificate allows graduate students to explore global educational issues with a special emphasis on teaching children with diverse learning needs, including children with exceptional educational needs, English Language Learners, and children of poverty. It consists of a minimum of 15 credits with at least one required study abroad internship, practicum, or independent study (e.g., Belize, England, China, Africa).
Typically this program is taken concurrently with a graduate program in education where many of the courses are already offered as part of the degree as well.
