PGCert in History

The Department of History at Bowling Green State University offers a graduate certificate designed for high school teachers who want to teach history at the college level within their own schools. It is delivered online and is aimed at programs like Ohio's College Credit Plus. Under state policy, such teachers need a master's degree in history, or a master's degree in another field plus graduate coursework in history. This certificate covers that coursework for teachers who already hold or are earning a master's in a different area, such as curriculum. Specialists teach the courses, with attention to the expectations of college instruction. Teachers who would rather earn a full master's can look at the department's M.A. in History, which also has online options. Applicants apply through the Graduate College and may contact the history graduate advisor with questions.
