GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN SECONDARY TEACHING FOR ENGINEERS AT BOISE STATE UNIVERSITY
Always wanted to teach high school or junior high? Thanks to an innovative, cooperative program, engineering students and professionals can earn Idaho secondary teaching certification through the Graduate Certificate program at Boise State University, often with just one additional year beyond their BS degree.Students with a bachelor's degree in an engineering field can apply to the graduate certificate program either after years of experience as an engineer, after completion of their bachelor's degree, or even in the final year of their BS program. The graduate teaching certificate program is designed to be completed in a summer plus a fall and spring semester (one calendar year) of full time study.
For engineers the certification fields that are easiest and most appropriate for them to pursue, based on their major, include:
Civil Engineering: Chemistry, Mathematics, Physical Science, Physics
Computer Science: Mathematics
Electrical Engineering: Mathematics, Physical Science, Physics
Material Science and Engineering: Chemistry, Mathematics, Physical Science, Physics
Mechanical Engineering: Mathematics, Physical Science, Physics
Students seeking certification at either the undergraduate or graduate levels in Mathematics or one of the sciences can qualify for a stipend through the National Science Foundation Noyce Grant. Qualifying students receive up to $10,000 for one year in return for a commitment to teach for two years in a "high needs" school district.
