Boost your Credentials with Graduate Certificates.
EdTech offers three certificate programs in Education Technology: Technology Integration, Online Teaching and School Technology Coordination. Perfect for teachers, school technologists, and others who want more credentials without the time and investment of a complete masters degree. Graduate certificates represent an additional milestone in academic and professional development as they become valuable additions to resumes, curriculum vitae, and personnel files.
Note: These advanced certificates only show your skills in a specialized area. They do not certify you to teach.
Certificate courses are selected from our master’s degree curriculum. Students who later decide to pursue a Boise State master’s degree in Educational Technology may apply their certificate credits toward one of our master’s degree programs but completion of a certificate program does not guarantee acceptance into either program.
All of the EdTech certificate programs are approved by the Idaho State Board of Education and are suitable for mounting and displaying. Transcripts also verify this interim level of academic achievement. Students may enroll in two certificate programs at once, or enroll in a graduate certificate and a Master’s degree at the same time—without any additional cost or time involved.
The EdTech department accepts qualified students up to one week prior to the start of classes, provided the requisite courses have seats available.
