Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Online Teaching

The purpose of the Online Teaching Endorsement Certificate program is to prepare candidates to teach within online and blended learning environments. Over the course of three semesters, candidates in the Online Teaching Endorsement Certificate program will complete three (3) online courses (9 credit hours), field experiences, and an electronic portfolio. This program offers Track 1 - Endorsement for those who are certified educators in Georgia who wish to add the GaPSC approved Online Teaching Endorsement to their certifications, and Track 2 - Certificate for those educators who are in K-12 settings but not certified in Georgia or who teach in other settings and wish to gain competencies in online and blended teaching. When all requirements have been completed, the three courses will appear on the KSU transcript under Online Teaching Endorsement Certificate. 

This program does require all candidates to complete applied learning projects through a series of field experiences with students in online or blended learning environments. As a result, candidates must have access to a digital learning environment in their discipline to implement the required field experiences. 

The following are program-specific requirements beyond the general Graduate Admissions requirements. To be considered for admission to this program, the following application materials must be submitted to the KSU Graduate Admissions Office:
