Checklist for Certificate in Mathematics
Certificate in Mathematics for Professionals and Educators at BGSU
Description: This 18-hour graduate-level certificate program is designed for professionals working in a field aligned with mathematics, especially professional educators who need to deepen and broaden their knowledge and skills in mathematics to remain competitive in their current positions and/or expand their career horizons. In recent semesters, we have offered a selection of online or remote courses that made it possible to complete the certificate. The three-hour courses listed below will count for CCP credentialing in high schools that partner with BGSU. Contact Ben Ward, Graduate Coordinator in Mathematics and Statistics, by email at benward@bgsu.edu for more information.
