The University of South Carolina College of Liberal Arts offers courses that use live, televised instruction and videotaped instruction that benefits degree-seeking students, professional educators, and individuals interested in courses for personal or professional development. Courses are offered on a semester system that includes fall, spring, summer I, and summer II. Due to the individual nature of certificate renewal, educators must determine the applicability of courses for their recertification needs with the SC Department of Education. USC cannot determine the appropriateness of any course for certificate renewal.
