Online Advanced Chemistry Knowledge for Educators Certificate

College of Arts and Sciences

Are you ready to deepen your chemistry knowledge and advance your teaching career? The Advanced Chemistry Knowledge for Educators Certificate is designed for teachers seeking to improve their pedagogical content knowledge to support their teaching of College Credit Plus (CCP) courses. This fast-paced 100% online graduate certificate program consists of four graduate courses, totaling 18 graduate credit hours, that are entirely asynchronous, and scheduled throughout the year in half or full semester offerings. For this reason, working professionals are encouraged to enroll in summer terms.

The program's rigorous yet supportive environment builds on your existing knowledge and experiences, while the flexible curriculum allows you to choose your own path to complete course modules, prepare lesson plans and write reflection papers. 

The program’s curriculum examines content found in General Chemistry courses, but at a much deeper level. If you are eager to improve your own instruction, find resources to use with your students, and deepen your content knowledge, this program is for you.

Weekly work time commitment: For each credit hour you are enrolled in, you may spend two to three hours outside of class studying. For example, for a 5-credit-hour class, you will have five hours of class time per week, plus an additional 10 hours or more of coursework each week.
