About
This is an online program.
IU Online's Graduate Certificate in German offers advanced-level instruction in the German language. This program may be of special interest to K–12 German teachers, or anyone looking to improve their mastery of the language.
As a student in this program, you enhance your language proficiency and teaching techniques, study current research on effective pedagogical strategies and foreign language instruction, and enhance your intercultural competence in order to promote student engagement with the German-speaking world.
The Graduate Certificate in German is ideal for those who want to teach dual-credit courses and who need to meet Higher Learning Commission dual-credit qualification standards. These standards require teachers wanting to teach dual-credit courses to hold either a master's degree in their area of instruction or a master's degree in another discipline (such as education), plus at least 18 credit hours of discipline-specific graduate coursework.
If you hold a master's degree in another discipline, you can meet HLC standards by completing the 18-credit hour Graduate Certificate in German.
