The Elementary Education graduate certificate is designed for individuals aiming to build expertise in equitable teaching practices for elementary-aged students from diverse backgrounds. This program suits K-12 educators with endorsements in non-elementary subjects, those holding undergraduate-level elementary education endorsements, aspiring elementary school administrators, professionals in fields like museums or public agencies working closely with K-12 systems, and homeschooling enthusiasts. The curriculum prepares Tennessee-certified teachers in other disciplines to qualify for an Elementary Education endorsement, subject to transcript evaluation, successful completion of required exams, and faculty advisor approval.

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),
