Certificate in Online Teaching and Training

‌The Certificate in Online Teaching and Training is a 12-credit 100 percent online graduate program that provides opportunities for educators and trainers to develop advanced competencies in designing, developing, delivering and managing online learning and performance improvement in education, business, government, healthcare, military and other professions. Teaching certification is not required for admission. Certified teachers employed full-time in South Carolina public schools are eligible for special tuition rates as low as $276 per credit hour and may qualify for the add-on Online Teaching Endorsement from the S.C. State Department of Education.

 

 

Admission Requirements

Admission requirements for the Online Teaching endorsement curriculum:

  • Completion of the application form and payment of the $45 application fee.
  • Transcripts - You must submit an official transcript from every institution you have attended. Receipt of a baccalaureate or any higher degree must be clearly indicated on the transcript from the awarding institution. Official transcripts are those sent by the registrar of a college or a university directly to the Office of Graduate Studies. The Office of Graduate Studies does not order transcripts from any institution.
  • Official Scores - No tests are required for admission to the Online Teaching Certificate program.
  • Application Deadlines
    The Office of Graduate Studies admits non-degree students on a rolling basis. However, course registrations typically fill well in advance of each session. Prospective students are therefore encouraged to complete the non-degree application process at least two weeks prior to ensure course availability.
