This 18-credit hour online graduate certificate, offered by the Department of Educational Leadership  emphasizes instructional methods and principles of learning that promote linguistic, cognitive, and academic development for culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) adult learners in various educational settings.

Students seeking this certificate must fill out a Graduate School application indicating the field of study will be the Teaching English as Second Language for Adult Learners graduate certificate program. This is a separate application from the one for admission into the master’s degree. In addition to the Graduate School application, applicants need to submit the following:

• A bachelor degree from a regionally accredited institution or international equivalent (submit two official copies of bachelor degree transcripts)
• A statement of objectives explaining how this graduate certificate will support career goals or profession.
• As many of the students in this certificate program could be second language learners themselves, documents meeting the Graduate School: English Proficiency Requirements must be included in the application materials.
