The PreK-12 Deaf Education graduate certificate is designed for educators aiming to build expertise in equitable, effective teaching methods for diverse PreK-12 students with various exceptional needs. This program suits PreK-12 teachers certified in non-special education fields, those with undergraduate-level special education credentials, aspiring administrators overseeing specialized student programs, non-certified professionals working closely with school systems (such as museum or agency staff), and homeschooling educators. The curriculum prepares participants for Tennessee's additional Deaf Education PreK-12 endorsement, contingent upon transcript evaluation, successful licensure examinations, and faculty advisor approval. Candidates must achieve at least an Intermediate Plus score on the Sign Language Proficiency Interview (SLPI) for endorsement eligibility.

Qualification Requirements
For admission to a graduate program, an international student must have an equivalent 4-year bachelor's degree with at least a 3.00 on a 4.00 scale on all previous coursework or a 3.30 on a 4.00 scale on all previous graduate work. Grading systems other than the 4.00 scale are evaluated, upon receipt of transcripts, in accordance with standard practice. Programs may require a higher average GPA for admission. Applicants with work experience or who are entering graduate study after a number of years away from an educational institution, usually five years, will be given consideration with greater flexibility relative to GPA.
Minimum score requirements for admission to the Graduate School are:
a total score of 80 on the internet-based TOEFL (iBT),
