Schedule of Courses

Students who wish to register for Certificate courses should consult procedures for students and then fill out a pre-enrollment form. The host institution for each course is indicated below.

Students may enroll in courses prior to formal acceptance into the certificate program. Program acceptance and completion of the 5-credit coursework sequence is required, however, to enroll in the capstone Practicum course.

For information about the professor, click on his/her name. For a sample course syllabus, click on the course title. (Syllabi are in Adobe PDF format; you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0+ installed. This free software is available at the Adobe Web site.)

Tuition

Current students, faculty and staff from Consortium member institutions pay a reduced tuition rate of $299/credit. (Because Worcester State University is the CCT program’s credentialing host, current WSU students, faculty and staff pay $262/credit.) Tuition for non-Consortium participants is $479/credit.
