If you are a doctoral or EdS student (currently active in a doctoral or EdS program) who is earning your Master’s along the way, please complete this form first, so that we can enable the application to your request for the master’s degree.
Since we are requesting student-specific information, you’ll need to log in with your UMSL credentials, so please log out of your personal Gmail, etc prior to clicking on the above link.
Please choose the appropriate program name below for the degree or certificate you are applying.
There is a distinct difference between a graduate certificate and teacher certification. A graduate certificate is a credential awarded by UMSL. They are managed by the Graduate School in much the same way as a master’s degree. If you wish to receive a Graduate Certificate, you should use the G10 link to apply for the certificate.
Teacher Certification is a process of the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The state sets the requirements and evaluates applicants. The Graduate School is not directly involved in this process, and you should not use the G10 application to apply for teacher certification. The College of Education runs UMSL’s programs that lead to teacher certification. If you have any questions about how to obtain teacher certification, you should contact the Advising Office at 314-516-5937.
Graduate Certificates are emailed after all requirements are confirmed completed, including a zero balance.
