Programs
The Office of Teaching and Learning works with NDSU Faculty and staff to create, implement, and assess programs that actively involve students in learning as the road to success. We have six major programs that offer a variety of events, services, degrees, and training opportunities. Each of the following programs operates under the Office of Teaching and Learning and relates, in some way, to teaching and learning.
College Teaching Certificate
Provides a structured program in pedagogy for graduate students who plan to teach in a college or university or individuals who already have a graduate degree and work on campus.
Distance & Continuing Education (DCE)
Serves the educational needs of our region's K-12 teachers through professional development classes and place-bound students through online degree programs.
Gateways-ND NSF Grant
A National Science Foundation-funded project that focuses on developing expertise in active learning in STEM faculty at NDSU. The program examines relationships between student and faculty attitudes and success in the STEM classroom.

Peer Teaching Partnership
Connects faculty members who have a desire to improve their teaching and their students’ learning. Participants set goals, share syllabi, observe their partner’s class, thoughtfully consider their teaching philosophy and practice, and discuss critiques.

The Office of Teaching and Learning may provide monetary support for programs and events which have a broad audience/impact. Support in the form of staff assistance is also available.
