Program Overview
The English Department at the University of Colorado Denver offers a Graduate Certificate in Teaching College-level Language and Literacy. It fulfills the increasing needs of educators seeking to deepen and to broaden their specialization. It allows an English Master's Candidate to specialize in an area of study in addition to the primary area of degree focus. The certificate does not grant state licensure. It ensures competency for those who already are licensed, provides documentation in expertise for those teaching in community colleges, and enables specialization for those with master's degrees in related fields (i.e. Rhetoric, Composition, Literature, Film Studies, Humanities, Education).
This certificate can be completed fully online, fully on campus, or a combination of the two.
These program requirements are subject to periodic revision by the academic department, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences reserves the right to make exceptions and substitutions as judged necessary in individual cases. Therefore, the College strongly urges students to consult regularly with their Teaching College-level Language and Literacy advisor to confirm the best plans of study before finalizing them.
