English Language Learners Certificate, Graduate

English Language Learners Graduate Certificate - This is a graduate-level program that offers a graduate certificate in conjunction with an English Language Learners state endorsement. This program is designed to provide advanced opportunities for those seeking to work with emergent bilinguals, dual language learners, and multi-lingual persons in a variety of settings.

These settings include but are not limited to programs that provide services for teaching English like adult basic skills programs, those in refugee settings, programs in other countries, and school settings.  It is anticipated that students will come from a variety of backgrounds, most having a bachelor’s degree with some additional work, certificated teachers with a desire to work toward the ELL endorsement, and some having master’s degrees in other areas. If one is planning on working toward an ELL endorsement, an initial teaching certificate is required. 

This is an online accelerated program with 6-week academic sessions.
