Students who engage in this Graduate Certificate will typically be educational administrators at all levels who want to learn how to support technology-suffused education and lead digital-age schools. This certification is focused on creating skills and dispositions for individuals committed to making systemic and lasting changes in schools, districts, states, and nations.

Admission Requirements and Application Procedures

• Individuals seeking the Graduate Certificate in School Technology Leadership must apply to both the Graduate School and the Department of Educational Leadership Studies either as a degree-seeking student (MEd, EdS, EdD, PhD) or a certification-only student (CERT). Applicants must satisfy the minimum Graduate School requirements for admission and pay the required application fee.
• Applicants must include a professional resume and two-page personal statement about why they desire a Graduate Certificate in School Technology Leadership with their completed application to the Department of Educational Leadership Studies.
• Admission to this Graduate Certificate program or award of this Graduate Certificate in School Leadership Technology does not guarantee subsequent admission to a graduate degree program at the University of Kentucky. Because the Graduate School allows the transfer of at most 9 credits into a degree program, certification-only students wishing to complete a graduate degree through the Department of Educational Leadership Studies should apply to the desired graduate program prior to the completion of the third course in the Certification program.
• Admission to the Graduate Certificate program may be limited so that the faculty and resources are not overwhelmed.
