The College Teaching Program prepares graduate students for academic teaching positions, and students are ready to teach in their field or discipline upon completion of program requirements. The transfer and relationship between theory and research and instructional practice is emphasized in all courses.
This is a University-wide program coordinated by the Office of the Dean of the Graduate School and involving the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning as well as faculty members from many fields and disciplines. Two academic programs are offered: the cognate in college teaching and the certificate in college teaching.
Admission Requirements
Applicants to the cognate program must have completed one year in a doctoral program at UNH and have the support and recommendation of their doctoral program coordinator. Students in terminal master's degree programs at UNH may be eligible to enroll in the cognate program.
Degree Requirements
Cognate in College Teaching Requirements
The Cognate in College Teaching offers a series of core and elective courses to prepare individuals to teach at institutions of higher education. The Cognate is available to doctoral students and students in selected master’s degree programs at UNH.
Students must apply and be formally admitted to the program. The Cognate appears as a minor on the student’s transcript, and is awarded concurrently with the PhD or Master’s degree.
This program requires the satisfactory completion of 13 academic credits. Students elect, with the permission of their graduate coordinator, to add the cognate to their graduate degree. The cognate will be awarded at the time of the award of the qualifying graduate degree. Requirements include 8 credits in core courses and 4 credits in elective courses.
