The Department of 英语 at Valdosta State University offers two "add on" certificate programs designed specifically for individuals who have earned a Bachelor's degree 用英语 and a Master's degree in another related field, but who would like to teach concurrent enrollment and beginning undergraduate courses 用英语 at a college level without seeking an additional, 英语文学硕士.

As opposed to a full 36-credit-hour MA degree, the certificate programs require 18 credit hours of graduate coursework. The program is expected to be completed in approximately two years or fewer; however, students have up to seven years to complete the program at their own pace.

Courses are offered by distinguished professors with 研究生 Status (Ph.D. and publication in their fields of expertise), several recipients of university teaching and online teaching awards.

The certificates are offered through two different tracks:

传统的跟踪: a mixture of online and face-to-face (evening) courses with the option to apply to continue for an MA 用英语 degree (Ph.D.; preparatory for teaching upper-division as well as concurrent enrollment and lower-division undergraduate courses). This ceritificate track can be completed in 1-2 years. For more information on admissions criteria and course descriptions, please visit

Students who complete the certificate may apply to enter into the full Traditional MA degree program.
