For graduate students preparing to become faculty.
This graduate certificate aims to prepare graduate students to become our future faculty and academic leaders by exposure to concepts that break the mold of existing practices in higher education. Many leaders in the academic and business communities have recently challenged colleges and universities to embrace change in order to ensure the viability of the higher education enterprise. Rather than settle for the status quo and witness a probable decline in sustainability, most argue that it is time to create new models and new methods of training for the future professoriate, who will become the faculty and academic leaders of tomorrow.
This certificate is part of the overarching theme "Transformative Graduate Education" (TGE). Interconnecting components all serve to better prepare the next generations for the professoriate and career professionals.
Graduate students must complete a minimum of 9 graduate credits (6 of which must be graded graduate credits).
