Degree and credit-bearing certificates are offered by the University of Colorado at Boulder academic programs/departments. CAETE provides classes from these academic programs/departments via the Internet (streaming and downloading) and traditional classroom experience. Credit-bearing courses may be applied toward a master’s degree or credit-bearing certificate, or taken for professional development (no-credit) from the University of Colorado at Boulder. If you apply and are accepted into one of the available degree or certificate programs, it is possible to complete all the course work through CAETE distance learning. Some degree plans require that you defend your final project or thesis orally on campus.

We encourage you to contact the graduate advisor in the applicable academic department to discuss application procedures, entrance requirements, and a study plan as soon as possible.
