Graduate Certificates in Educational Technology

Boise State offers 3 certificate programs in Educational Technology

Graduate certificates are perfect for teachers, school technologists, and others who want specialization in a particular discipline without committing time and investment to a complete master's degree.

Certificates represent an additional milestone in academic and professional development, so they become valuable additions to resumes, vitae, and personnel files. Our certificate programs are approved by the Idaho State Board of Education.

Boise State issues certificates suitable for mounting and displaying, and also verifies student achievement on transcripts. See an example of a Boise State Graduate Certificate.

Certificate courses are selected from our master's degree curriculum, so students who later decide to pursue a Boise State master's degree in Educational Technology may apply their certificate credits toward the master's program. Completion of a certificate program does not guarantee acceptance into the master's program.

Students enrolled in graduate certificate programs do qualify for federal financial aid!

Receive Two for One!

University policy allows students to enroll in two simultaneous degrees. This means you can enroll in a graduate certificate AND a Master's degree at the same time, and complete both degrees without any additional cost or time involved. Or enroll in two certificate programs.

This advantage is huge for those individuals seeking a change in employment. Imagine you are applying for a job in online teaching, and you have a Master's Degree in Educational Technology and a Graduate Certificate in Online Teaching. That is a powerful combination of credentials that is evidence of your expertise, and puts you a step ahead of the competition!

How to apply

Admissions requirements are simple. Complete the first two steps and essay on the Admissions page.

Important: Certificates must be applied for before beginning the required coursework. Only one completed course can be applied to a certificate program, so enroll early in your program of studies!
