The Graduate Certificate of Computers in Education at Cardean University is an 18-credit post-baccalaureate program that develops educators’ competencies in using a wide range of computer applications in classroom settings. The program provides introductory, intermediate, and advanced coursework and addresses candidates’ range of knowledge and skill through individualized projects and options. 

Candidates who begin in the Graduate Certificate of Computer Education program may later apply to the Cardean University Master of Science in Instructional Technology for Educators. If accepted, successfully completed certificate courses will be applied to fulfill the master’s degree requirements. 

Candidates are generally experienced public and non-public school teachers (certified or non-certified) who want to develop advanced knowledge and skills in classroom computer applications and prepare to serve as leaders incorporating instructional technology at the classroom, building or district level. Non-certified candidates may be required to take additional coursework in curriculum design or pedagogy as a foundation for the certificate program based on a case-by-case review of the applicant’s academic and work background.
