AIG Program Overview
Option 1 - AIG (K-12) Licensure
AIG Certification is a K-12 Add-on license. Certification requires successful completion of 12 semester hours in Gifted Education. To qualify for certification, you must:
Option 2 – AIG (K-12) Licensure with a Master’s Degree
To be eligible for AIG licensure, you must complete the requirements listed above. If you are also working toward a graduate degree, you must meet all requirements for your graduate degree program and obtain a license in some approved area to “add-on” the gifted license. Many graduate programs allow elective courses in an area of interest. Students may count up to six hours of AIG courses as electives in their master’s degree program where “room” exists, therefore, you may be able to take one or both of the foundational courses required for completion of the AIG Program leading to certification as elective credit in your program. Discuss your options with an advisor.
Option 3 - Elective Credit
Students interested in Gifted Education may elect to take one or more classes for graduate level elective credit (Note: EDN 552 & 553 are prerequisites for the subsequent two courses). Check with faculty advisors regarding program placement of elective credits in gifted education.
