Graduate Certificate in Technology/Digital Literacy

Deepen your technical knowledge of hardware and software within a biblical worldview.

Our 100% online Graduate Certificate in Technology/Digital Literacy is a series of six three-hour graduate courses designed for those seeking the credentials required to teach at the collegiate level; it can be completed in approximately 12 months. This program builds in ideas for culturally responsive teaching, ethics and faith, and research and technology tools.

Note: Candidates must already be credentialed for teaching technology and digital literacy in P-12 schools and/or community colleges, as this certificate will not lead to initial or advanced state licensure in those areas.
