PGCert in Education, General

These post-master's professional development certificates let educators continue advanced study in a specialization after finishing a graduate degree. They can be completed online, in person, in hybrid form or as accelerated online study. Applicants must already hold a master's in education, or a similar discipline, granted by an accredited college. The requirements combine the chosen specialization with extra core, clinical or elective courses from the master's program, giving teachers and administrators room to design a study plan. Students in these nine certificate programs are not eligible for federal financial aid. Goucher offers this program through its graduate division, where prospective students can ask questions, request information and schedule a one-on-one conversation with admissions staff before applying. Details on courses, tuition and scholarships are published on the program's pages of the college website, and applications are submitted online through the college. Anyone weighing the program is encouraged to review those pages and compare the format, schedule and requirements with their own professional plans.
