Certificate Economic Education

The graduate certificate in economic education is to assist high school instructors who teach economics to obtain the 18 graduate credit hours needed to teach economics as a dual enrollment course.  The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) requires that teachers must have at least 18 graduate credit hours in a given subject to teach classes that can be considered dual-enrollment. The graduate certificate is designed to expand high school teachers’ economics knowledge both in theory and practice so they can deliver high quality classes at the college-level.
