The Curriculum and Instruction graduate program offers a 15-hour graduate certificate in classroom technology. The five required courses are consonant with International Society for Technology in Education, state and national content standards, and National Board of Professional Teacher Standards Licensure goals. All courses in the graduate certificate are offered on weekends or summers in short formats or by video, web, or other distance education formats. A statewide advisory group, which includes graduates, provides guidance to this graduate certificate program. 

To be accepted into the classroom technology graduate certificate program, candidates must be admitted to the graduate program in curriculum and instruction and be accepted in the classroom technology area of specialization. To enter the classroom technology specialty an educator must have a current teaching certificate, classroom teaching experience or the equivalent, regular access to a computer, word processing application experience appropriate to grade level, access to the internet, and e-mail. Participants must have a commitment to integrating curriculum and technology to enhance student learning. Note that this certificate does not lead to an endorsement as a computer studies teacher.
