The Graduate Computer Technology Endorsement Certificate (16 hours) may be earned apart from completing the entire Master's degree. Teachers with this endorsement will be prepared to not only provide leadership capabilities for local, state or national educational technology initiatives but also will be licensed to teach computer science courses, K-12.

The Master of Education in Classroom Technology and the Graduate Computer Technology Endorsement Certificate are offered to cohorts, groups of students who begin the program together and progress through the sequence of courses together. One on-campus cohort of 18-20 students is admitted each year and begins coursework in the fall. Off-campus cohorts are periodically started in various locations throughout northwest Ohio, and as online cohorts, as resources allow. Coursework for both the Master's degree or the Computer Technology Endorsement may be taken completely online.

Full-time students may begin coursework in the summer and complete the full masters degree by spring of the following year.  Graduate assistantships are available for full-time students and should be applied for by January, to be eligible for the following fall/spring assistantship awards.
