Outstanding Opportunity for Students to Earn Graduate Credits

ed2go, the industry leader in online education, and Madonna University, a recognized higher education institution, are pleased to announce their partnership that offers graduate credit to education professionals. In addition to earning Professional Development Units (CEUs, PLUs, etc.), educators looking to renew their certificates and increase their salaries can apply to the Madonna University Professional Development Program and earn graduate credits for approved courses.

Madonna University is fully accredited by both the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.

Who Can Apply for the Credit?

All educators with a professional (permanent) certificate, practicing administrators, school psychologists, and support personnel may participate in this program.

  • Students may register for 1-6 hours of graduate credit, depending on the number of actual clock hours of work
  • Students register at Madonna University within two weeks of starting their ed2go Online Course
  • The professional development must be a learning experience that adds to the student’s professional growth
  • The cost per credit hour is $150, due at the time of registration to Madonna University
