- Did you know that DePaul offers a unique Certificate in Teaching English in Two-Year Colleges?
- This program gives graduate students excellent preparation for classroom teaching by pairing three pedagogy courses with an internship in which you work for a semester alongside an instructor in a local two-year college. The certificate program’s requirements fit neatly into the electives portion of your graduate degree, and if the full certificate doesn’t work for you, it’s possible to do the internship after just one teaching course. This certificate is available to students in both the MA in English in Literature and Publishing and MA in Writing and Publishing.
- Click here to access the certificate’s information page and application instructions, and click here to learn about all of the programs and certificates that DePaul has to offer English grad students. (For the list of undergraduate English programs, click here.)
- If you’d like to discuss your future plans and whether this certificate or internship might fit into them, please contact Prof. Michele Morano at mmorano@depaul.edu.
