Currently enrolled graduate students in language-related programs (e.g., foreign language teaching, Second Language Studies) who apply to the College of Arts and Letters Certification in College Teaching will follow the general pathway laid out by the certification and fulfill its requirements through approved language-related content.

Please direct any questions about approved language-related content to fulfill certification requirements to CeLTA’s Assistant Director, Caitlin Cornell (cornel28@msu.edu), who advises and mentors students in language-related programs who pursue the CAL certification. It is a good idea to contact Caitlin Cornell prior to applying to the CAL certification program.

NOTE: This certification program is a supplement for currently enrolled MSU graduate students. This is not to be confused with the certification associated with the MA in Foreign Language Teaching Program (https://maflt.cal.msu.edu/) which non-MSU students may apply for.
