English - Professional Studies Certificate

The graduate program in English offers two graduate certificates, one in Literature and Language Studies and one in Professional Studies. Students can complete one or both certificates and later apply the course work to a master’s degree. For high school instructors who have a master’s degree in another area, the credits can be applied toward faculty credential requirements for teaching dual credit English courses. For information on dual credit teaching, see the SACSCOC Faculty Credential Guidelines and the Texas Education Agency Dual Credit FAQs. With the Professional Studies Certificate, students will gain knowledge to support advancement within a current position or movement toward new opportunities in teaching or professional writing.
