Teachers of History

The Graduate Certificate for Teachers of History is intended for licensed teachers of secondary school history who are seeking the necessary credentials to be able to teach dual credit (college and high school) courses in their high schools. This certificate will provide teachers with the required 18 graduate credit hours of coursework in the discipline of history.

This graduate certificate can be begun in any term (fall, spring, or summer) and can generally be completed within 12-15 months. The program requires completion of a course in historical methodology and two historiographical seminars, leading to a concentration in US, European, or World History. The program requirements are finished by taking 6 credits from a selection of topical seminars and directed readings.

Students successfuly completing this certificate program may be able to use these credits toward the completion of appropriate Masters in History and Masters in Education degrees.

For our graduate programs, we welcome applications from students who hold a bachelor's degree (or higher) from a college or university accredited by a regional or general accrediting agency, and have at least a B average in undergraduate course work (or otherwise give evidence of promise that is judged satisfactory by the admitting program).

The University of Cincinnati offers nearly 400 graduate programs, from master's and doctoral degrees to graduate certificates and artist diplomas. Whether online or on-campus, as a graduate student at UC, you will join a diverse community of students enrolled at one of the nation's top public universities in an incredibly vibrant city.
