NEW! Computer Science Cross-Endorsement Program
University of Bridgeport’s School of Education is excited to launch a new Computer Science cross-endorsement program!
UB will be one of the first schools in Connecticut to offer this teaching certification. Once you are enrolled in a master’s teaching certification program, the Computer Science cross-endorsement can be achieved in one of two ways:
- Take and pass the Praxis II Computer Science exam (5651)
OR - Take 4 courses (12 credits) in Computer Science content.
The cross-endorsement certificate will match your initial licensure area of either grades K-6 or 7-12. The 12 credit program can be completed in as little as 3 semesters in person or online. The first two courses, CPSC 101 & CPEG 472, will be offered this summer term and these courses may be taken together.
