CS Education Graduate Certificate and IT Supplemental Endorsement

If you are interested in earning your IT supplemental endorsement but aren't ready to commit to a full MS degree program, the Graduate Certificate in CS Education is built just for you!

A graduate certificate is a great way to get started with graduate courses in teaching computer science. The best part is that if you change your mind down the road, all of the credits you earn can be applied to the MS in Computer Science Education!

Program Requirements (18 credit hours)

  • Choose one:
    • CSTE 8020 - Exploring Computer Science for Teachers
    • CSTE 8030 - Computer Science Principles for Teachers
  • CSTE 8040 - Object Oriented Programming for Teachers

    • CSCI 8836 - Software Engineering
  • TED 8006 - Special Methods in the Content Area (IT/CS Section)
  • CSCI 8010: Foundations of Computer Science

Upon completing all courses (with the exception of CSCI 8010), those holding a current Nebraska teaching certificate are eligible for the IT supplemental endorsement.

Follow the instructions provided by the College of Education once these courses have been completed to add this to your teaching license.
