Professional Development/Certificate Renewal Courses

Here are the most common examples of why people take coursework outside of our traditional graduate degree or certificate programs:

  • Educator Certification/Recertification
  • Mental Health Counseling Certification/Licensure
  • Continuing Education/Professional Development

The University of Florida College of Education offers several courses for those interested in the above areas.

  1. We have a sample list of standard courses for educator renewal.
  2. Please visit the University of Florida Registrar’s Office for a list of current course offerings.
  3. Course syllabi are available to view for the College of Education.
  4. Need additional guidance about educator recertification? Please contact Ashley Sprague at a.sprague@coe.ufl.edu.

Just need a couple of classes (6 credit hours or less)? Apply as a Non-Degree seeking student.

Any one interested in applying as a non-degree seeking student will need to obtain preapproval of coursework prior to submitting an application as many of our courses are restricted.

Here is general information about the Employee Education Program (EEP) offered to full-time UF employees. Please note that preapproval of coursework is required prior to submitting EEP paperwork. Not all EEP eligible courses are available to non-degree seeking students.

For questions about the non-degree application process, please contact Chris Cook at cpcook@coe.ufl.edu for details and assistance.

Need three or more classes (9+ credit hours)? Apply as a Post-Baccalaureate student.

With Post Baccalaureate application:

  • Submit transcripts from all previous academic institutions and details about your Florida Residency Status.
  • Please also submit a Statement of Purpose that outlines why you are interested in applying to take courses with the University of Florida. There is no minimum or maximum word count. If you cannot submit this with your unofficial transcripts, please email it to GradAdmissions@coe.ufl.edu after you submit the application.

UF Post Baccalaureate Application: https://admissions.ufl.edu/apply/post-baccalaureate

For questions about the post-baccalaureate application process, please contact EduGator Central Graduate Admissions at GradAdmissions@coe.ufl.edu.

Steps to Certification

For Graduates of UF COE’s state- and CAEP- approved programs, UFTeach Minors, or Out-of-State.

Department of Education

“The purpose of Florida educator certification is to support the academic achievement of our students by assuring that our educators are professionally qualified for highly effective instruction. Florida educators must be certified to teach in our public schools and in many of our private schools. Educators include classroom teachers, school administrators, and other support professionals, such as guidance counselors and media specialists.”
