Graduate Reading Endorsement Certificate
Ohio P-12 educators seeking an endorsement and community educators seeking a stand-alone certificate are welcome to pursue our program that supports literacy among young people. The program draws from the latest research and field expertise for working with emergent and striving readers. You will gain insights into sociopolitical, cultural, and linguistic factors that affect literacy and research practices that inform assessment and instructional design.
All students receive a graduate-level Reading Endorsement Certificate from Miami University. Licensed Ohio educators may attach a reading endorsement to their licenses, and teach reading in grades P-12.
Application Process
Admission to our graduate endorsement certificate is offered to both current Miami University graduate students interested in adding the credential pursuit to their degree programs, as well as prospective graduate students.
Please review the application process carefully as it differs by student status.
Current Miami graduate students should submit our certificate application form. Miami students may apply for admission in the fall and spring semesters.
New Miami students will submit our graduate certificate application. This application is used if you are only seeking admission to the graduate certificate. Current MU degree students wanting to add a certificate should not use this application. Be sure to select "Graduate Certificate" on page 1 of the application. Required supplemental materials include transcripts and a personal statement detailing your interest in the program. The application fee is $20.
