The department offers a graduate certificate in engineering education program to graduate students within and outside the college who work on engineering education or related issues. Graduate students who are outside the college must formally send a request to the respective EEd Graduate Coordinator and/or Academic Assistant II to get orientation and permission to apply and enroll for the certification. Active EEd graduate students may not be eligible for the certificate, although some exceptions (discussed in section 8) could apply.
General Process
To obtain a certificate, you must first apply to the Graduate Certificate Program at least one semester before attaining the requirements for the certificate. To enroll, please go to https://admissions.ufl.edu (Apply. 1. Explore our degree programs >>More Options). Currently enrolled students must identify as such when applying for the certificate.
General Requirements
For students seeking the certificate, at least 9 credits are required (depending on the courses selected, a student may take more than 9 credits).
Please note that EEd is working on refinements to the certificate and the most recent changes to the certificate will be found in Graduate Certificate in Engineering Education – Department of Engineering Education (ufl.edu). Once you are admitted (the process may take up to 10 business days or more), the Academic Assistant II will notify you that you have been admitted to the EEd certificate. To request the certificate to be awarded for your graduation, be sure to request this at the start of the semester of your graduation by going to one.uf following the same steps you would when requesting to receive your degree.
