The College of Education offers non-degree programs in three areas:

1. Students wishing to add Library Media to an existing master’s degree should contact the Program coordinator for details. Once the requirements are established, the student should meet with the assigned advisor to complete a program of study including necessary course work and required hours. During the completion of the Library Media certification program, the candidate must pass the appropriate section of GACE Content Assessment. Students in the Add-on Library Media Program are not eligible for financial aid.

1. This program is designed for graduate students who are already certified educators and have received a master's degree in a different field or concentration. Instead of getting a second master's degree in Instructional Technology, graduate students would only need to take the required courses to achieve Instructional Technology Coordinator certification.

1. Candidates in the endorsement programs do not have to take a GACE content test(s) for certification purposes. Students in endorsement programs are not eligible for financial aid unless the endorsement program is included on an official Program of Study for a degree.

In addition, a person who holds a baccalaureate degree and a teaching certificate may enroll in graduate courses as an enrichment student for the purposes of self-improvement, certification renewal or enjoyment. Students in enrichment programs are not eligible for financial aid. Should the student later decide to transfer to a degree seeking category, no more than 9 semester hours of credit earned while in this category may be applied toward a graduate degree program and then only if approved by the coordinator of the degree program desired. Students who transfer to a degree program must meet the admissions requirements for that program including passing the Graduate Writing Assessment.
