College Credit Plus Credentialing
High School Teachers Seeking College Credit Plus (CCP) Credentialing
Bowling Green State University (BGSU) has several content areas available for high school teachers seeking the credentials necessary in order to teach college level courses for CCP in the state of Ohio. Minimum credentials for teaching requires a master’s degree and at least 18 credit hours in the discipline that the teacher will be instructing at the college level. If the master’s degree is in the content/discipline, then this satisfies the state of Ohio’s minimum criteria. However, the ability to teach college courses is subject to the approval of the academic department for which the individual would be teaching.
Some of these content areas are fully on-line, while some are blended (partially online and partially face-to-face). Of these content areas, several are fully developed master’s degree programs designed to assist teachers in strengthening their content areas. Others are certificate programs (or developing certificate programs) which will provide the minimum CCP content necessary (18 credit hours). These certificates may be completed alone to satisfy Ohio credentialing needs or used to transfer the credits later into a master’s degree program.
Current content area programs appropriate for high school or middle school teachers include:
Master’s Degree Programs:
English (Specialization in English Teaching – completely online)
Music (Music Education – Teaching Artistry – completely online)
History (Blended online available)
Art (See web page for various graduate programs)
Spanish (Blended online available)
Certificates: (certificates that are less than 18 credits simply require the student to take additional credits to equal 18 for credentialing)
Biological Sciences for Professionals and Educators
College Writing: Theory & Practice (English)
French for Professionals and Educators
German for Professionals and Educators
History for Professionals and Educators
Mathematics for Professionals and Educators
Political Science for Professional Educators
