Executive Certificate in Curriculum and Instruction
Our Online Executive Certificate in Curriculum and Instruction Equips You to Lead in the Classroom
Liberty University’s 100% online Executive Certificate in Curriculum & Instruction is designed to help educational professionals gain the additional knowledge they need to plan and manage the diversity of K-12 classrooms. Our Executive Certificate in Curriculum & Instruction also provides a seamless transition to our Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) program, which allows you to continue on to a corresponding doctoral degree.
This certificate is geared toward those interested in advanced theories in curriculum and instruction but are short on time or the resources to commit to a full degree. You will enhance your knowledge of teaching and learning as well as prepare for more responsibility by gaining knowledge of educational leadership styles and how they can influence the school environment.
Military Tuition Discount
If you have served in the military, we want to go above and beyond to show you our gratitude. That’s why we designed our 21-credit-hour certificates to work especially well for you. Earning an Executive Certificate makes you eligible for our military alumni doctoral discount — you’ll receive the discounted $275/credit hour military rate both during the certificate and later during the corresponding doctoral degree after you roll over your completed credits.*
If your plans to earn a doctoral degree lie further in the future, each certificate also stands on its own as a professional development credential, setting you apart from your peers and giving you the flexibility to start a doctoral degree whenever you’re ready. It’s one more way we show our appreciation.
Even if you later decide to pursue a doctoral degree in a different subject area, you’ll still receive a discounted rate during your doctorate as long as you’ve previously completed an Executive Certificate.*
*In order to retain a discounted rate, the doctoral degree must be started within 2 years of completing the Executive Certificate.
Please note: The $275/credit hour rate only applies to select education certificates/programs.
