The Graduate Certificate in E-Learning is a distinctive online program offered jointly with the Departments of Curriculum, Instruction, and Counselor Education, and Leadership, Policy and Adult and Higher Education at NC State University. The Graduate Certificate in E-Learning is designed for those individuals currently involved in e-learning activities and those who wish to enter into the e-learning field. Our program offers a robust state-of-the-art curriculum preparing students to design, develop, and implement innovative e-learning initiatives in the K-12 or adult education practice area. Students who complete the certificate program are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to assume a leadership role in integrating e-learning into the curriculum or to teach online.

The program offers two tracks based on a student’s area of interest: e-learning for K-12 education, or e-learning for adult education. All courses are taught entirely online by faculty who are leaders in their field. Certificate students are assigned an advisor in their chosen track (K-12 or adult education) who is committed to guiding each student through their program of study.
