When We Say Affordable — We Mean It

Most Affordable Colorado CLD Endorsement Program ANYWHERE!

As fellow educators, we understand that cost and flexibility are two of the most important factors when choosing an endorsement program. That’s why our Colorado CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY DIVERSE endorsement is designed to be both the most affordable option available and one of the most flexible programs on the market.

Clear, Transparent Pricing

The total tuition cost for the Colorado ESL endorsement is ONLY $4,800.
That’s – 8 courses/ 24 graduate credit hours for ONLY $200 per credit hour.

No need to pay the whole amount upfront, you can pay for one course at a time as you go!

There are no hidden fees—no application fees, no textbook costs, no technology fees, no library fees, and no surprise charges. Just straightforward pricing with complete transparency, so you can plan with confidence.

Designed for Busy Colorado Teachers

We also know how demanding teaching can be. That’s why all of our endorsement courses are offered 100% online in a fully asynchronous format. Each course runs for just 5 weeks, allowing you to log in and complete coursework when it works best for your schedule.

Multiple courses are offered simultaneously, giving you flexibility in how quickly or gradually you move through the program.
