Academically Intellectually Gifted Add-on Licensure

A 12-hour program designed to serve candidates holding a current teaching license can be completed in as few as two consecutive semesters, or eight months. Requirements, following a successful transcript review, are determined on an individual basis. In order to be eligible for this add-on licensure, candidates must already hold a current teaching license.

Admission Requirements

Program-specific admission requirements for full acceptance into the AIG Add-on Licensure certificate program are the following.

1. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale for all work completed beyond high school
2. An "A"-level teaching license or equivalent
3. Three professional recommendations from persons, at least one of whom is a current or former school administrator, who know the applicant’s work as an educator or student
4. Access to a classroom in which to engage in instruction
5. Cohort Form

Upon completion of add-on licensure requirements, candidates are required to apply for graduation and pay the Graduate Certificate Fee. Candidates applying past the deadline for the semester in which they complete their add-on licensure requirements will be charged the Late Graduate Certificate Fee.
