Online Gifted Education Certificate Curriculum
Take any course(s) individually or enroll in the certificate program.
The Gifted Education Certificate has gone through a minor revision and updating of its courses starting June 2015. Anyone who started their certificate program prior to June, 2015 will still be able to count all of their course credits. Adjustments will be made where necessary to assist anyone in the completion of their Gifted Education certificate. A detailed planner with course descriptions and scheduling information is available in the certificate planner
Required Courses: (10 credits)
- GTED 6245: Inquiry for Gifted Students (2 credits)

- GTED 7607: Differentiation: Instructional Models & Strategies in Gifted Education (2 credits)

Courses do not need to be taken in a specific order but it is helpful to start with GTED 6245 as that is foundational to the program. In addition, taking GTED 7609 last is advised as it assumes knowledge from the previous courses.
