This program is available to individuals who possess a New Jersey
standard instructional certificate or a Certificate of Eligibility with
Advanced Standing. The program is not aligned to any specific degree
program, does not lead to a degree of any kind, and is usually completed
exclusively through the Graduate School of Education Office of
Continuing Education's off-campus sites.
If students are interested in taking an endorsement course offered on
the New Brunswick Campus, they must obtain special permission from the
instructor.
The program
requires 21 credits of Rutgers University graduate coursework but does
not lead to a graduate degree. If the student later decides to apply to
the master of education (Ed.M.) program in special education, he or she
must formally apply to the master's program.
Only 6 credits (two courses) taken in the endorsement program can be
applied to the master's graduate degree program: Psychology of
Exceptional Children and Learning Disabilities.
