Computer Science Endorsement

The University of North Georgia offers a fully online Computer Science Endorsement for Georgia's teachers. The Computer Science Endorsement Program is a 12-hour endorsement for students who have a current Georgia K-12 teaching license and are interested in extending their knowledge of computer science and cybersecurity for application in classrooms for grades 6 through 12.

The endorsement may be taken for graduate college credit or for Professional Learning Unit (PLU) credit. The Georgia Computer Science Endorsement is officially approved by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission.

Applicants certified in Georgia should verify with their employer or the GaPSC whether the advanced degree leads to a certificate upgrade or pay increase. The GaPSC provides the Certificate Upgrade Advisor to assist with this process. Out-of-state applicants should also verify with their employer or certification body to verify certificate upgrades.
