College Teaching Certificate Program

Would you like to earn course credit for the work you have done in the PFF program?

Beginning in Fall 2009 students will have the option of obtaining a College Teaching Certificate by registering for two designated courses (please see list below) in addition to the ten required seminars, out of twelve offered, through the PFF program. These courses will appear on your transcript. Students who do not opt to take the two courses but complete the 10 seminars will still receive a PFF program diploma of completion however the seminars will not appear on your transcript.

Please note: Students who took some or all of the seminars prior to the start of Fall 2009 and are interested in the certificate program will need to complete the two designated courses by the end of Spring 2011.
