Certificate in Geology Education
Program Objective
In keeping with the
mission of The University of Texas at Arlington to provide lifelong learning
opportunities, the Earth & Environmental Sciences Department has created a Graduate Certificate in
Geology Education. The purpose of this
certificate is to provide teaching professionals with graduate instruction in
Geology as a means of maintaining and promoting their professional
development. The certificate provides a
post-baccalaureate educational opportunity to teachers that is narrower in
scope, and shorter in duration, than its associated graduate degree
program.
Admission Requirements
The terms of admission
allow participants to take specific courses approved for the
certificate program. They are not allowed to take courses outside
of their program.
Any student that later
seeks a graduate degree in the MA program may apply 9 of the
12 hours of course work
toward that program if done within 6 years of completion of the certificate by
petitioning the Graduate School through her/his prospective academic
department.
All participants in the
program must meet the normal GPA requirements of the Graduate
School, College, and
Department. In particular, they must
maintain an overall GPA of
3.0 in order to receive
the Certificate.
Course Requirements
The Certificate in Geology
Education requires students to take and successfully complete, Contemporary
Science 5301 plus at least 9 advanced hours in Earth & Environmental Sciences with a minimum GPA
of 3.0.
The advanced courses
available to participants in the certificate program include:
