The Motivating Learning Environments Certificate offers a chance for students to enhance learning by gaining knowledge of how to develop motivating learning environments. Many teachers and administrators have rich understandings of teaching strategy and content but have had little opportunity to explore theoretical or conceptual knowledge of how students learn. In this certificate program, students have the opportunity to study rich concepts and theories that have been developed in the fields of motivation, instruction, and learning.

The Educational Research Methodology Certificate prepares students to conduct educational research. Teachers and administrators often possess rich knowledge of curriculum and instruction, but may not have sufficient methodological and statistical knowledge to perform or interpret educational research. This program addresses the development of these abilities and affords students in the social and behavioral sciences with an opportunity to develop some intermediate-level skills for conducting research/program evaluation.
