The English Department at 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 content specialization. It allows an English Masters Candidate to specialize in an area of study additional 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).

General Requirements:

All candidates must possess a Bachelor’s of Arts in any field. Students must maintain a 3.0 GPA with no courses below a B-. All courses must be taken at the graduate level and in residence at CU Denver.  18 Credit hours are required to obtain this certificate.
