Requirements

Ph.D. graduate students and Post-doctoral fellows are eligible to apply to the Johns Hopkins Teaching Academy Certificate program. Applications are accepted on a continual basis and activities taken previous to enrollment count retroactively. 

To be awarded a certificate, complete the requirements of the three phases (as detailed below) or propose a comparable training activity.  You may complete the Phases in any order, activities completed prior to enrollment may count retroactively and you may participate in the Teaching Academy trainings as long as you remain an affliate of Johns Hopkins University. 

Note: if you are in a visa status sponsored by JHU, you must contact the Office of International Services (ois@jhu.edu) to determine your eligibility to engage in paid teaching activities.  Failure to do so could result in a violation of your visa status.
