College Teaching Certificate: Your Foundation to Become a Top-Notch Instructor

Apply today for this unique pedagogical experience.

The College Teaching Certificate is a 9-credit program that prepares NDSU graduate students, and individuals who already have a graduate degree and work on campus, to teach in a way that involves students in all aspects of learning – this is what we mean by “active learning.”

Students in the program will:

  • Study contemporary education research focused on higher education issues.
  • Gain experience in the teaching and learning process through coursework, field experience, peer observations, and a structured practicum.
  • Learn how to design a curriculum that is rich in assessment and involvement, and is based on educational research that confirms the effectiveness of the approach.

We encourage current NDSU faculty and teaching staff to discuss the benefits of this program with graduate students. Students interested in the College Teaching Certificate must be concurrently enrolled in a graduate program leading to a degree or have a graduate degree and be employed at NDSU.
