Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study (CAGS) in Education

The Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study (CAGS) in Education is a post-master’s level certificate in which a graduate student pursues one of five areas of concentration. Some concentrations (Literacy, School Leadership, and Special Education) also afford enrolled students the opportunity to pursue additional endorsements. This individually designed program is based on the educational goals and needs of the student and is planned with support from an academic advisor. It comprises 30 graduate credits beyond the master’s degree. In accordance with the policies outlined in this catalog, up to 10 credits may be transferred from another institution if they are post-master’s credits, are relevant to the program concentration, and are approved by the advisor.
