Go beyond the walls of the classroom and put your discipline into practice in real world settings. Learning Beyond the Classroom (LBC) is a certificate program that enhances student marketability in the work force.
Learning Beyond the Classroom (LBC) is open only to students majoring in the College of Science. It is a voluntary program aimed at encouraging you, the College of Science student, to engage in activities that provide hands-on experience and opportunities to apply classroom knowledge. Successful completion of the LBC program will be noted on your official Purdue transcript. You will also receive a certificate of completion.
Participation in LBC involves attending, organizing, or leading activities that fall into three general categories: career and professional development; service, citizenship and leadership; and experience with domestic and international diversity.
Career and Professional Development
Service, Citizenship and Leadership
Progress in each of the three areas is tracked by a point system. Points are earned by submitting reports on participation in activities. The number of points earned varies with the intensity of the activity.
Completing the LBC certificate requires that you:
In most cases, a maximum of 6 points per year and 10 points in total may be earned for any particular activity. It is estimated that completion of the certificate will take approximately 30 hours over your college career in addition to the intensive 10-point activity described above.
Don't just get a degree, get an education!
The College of Science wants you to learn beyond the classroom! As majors in the College you already work with our faculty and staff to develop into skilled scientists of the future. You practice applying these skills in our laboratories and workshops. Now we are asking you to take advantage of the many opportunities you have while you are in college to go beyond the walls of the classrooms and labs and put your disciplines into practice in real world settings. We think this experience is of such importance that we will recognize you for doing so with a Learning Beyond the Classroom Certificate that will be noted on your Purdue academic transcript.
The benefits:
A latest analysis shows that students who have earned the Learning Beyond the Classroom Certificate have a higher GPA at graduation and finish their degrees more quickly than students who did not earn an LBC certificate.
The GPA of students with LBC certification is on average 0.213 higher than those without LBC (p < 0.001). Students with LBC certification on average graduated half a semester earlier than those without LBC (p < 0.001). The LBC group has its on-time graduation rate higher by 12.27% (p < 0.001).
Among the requirements of the Learning Beyond the Classroom Certificate Program is that you participate in either (a) approved coursework with grades of P or C- or higher (one or more courses totaling 3 credits meets this requirement) or (b) semester-ling study abroad or the equivalent.

During the second half, teachers work collaboratively to discuss, evaluate, revise and analyze each others’ solutions. Finally, there are whole-class discussions where students and faculty discuss the tasks, the solution and explanation, and any pedagogical implications.
Teachers enrolled in the Mathematics Learning and Teaching certificate program take courses alongside teachers enrolled in the MS in Mathematics Learning and Teaching and are encouraged to matriculate into the MS program.

To earn the Graduate Certificate in Urban Education, students complete 12 credits from courses that explore issues related to equity, social justice, and inclusive classroom practice. Urban schools, on average, serve a wider range of students from racially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse backgrounds than their suburban or rural counterparts. Such diversity is a great strength for urban schools. Yet it also presents a challenge, not only because schools must be responsive to a broader range of backgrounds and experiences, but also because the most socially and economically marginalized students in our society are overrepresented in urban schools where the vast majority of educators are white and monolingual. In these contexts it is particularly important for educators to practice responsive and inclusive approaches to pedagogy and to be critically aware of how education–as part of a broader system of power–has historically emphasized the deficits of students rather than their strengths.
The courses for the certificate program are at the same level as master’s program curriculum and can count towards the M.Ed. degree in Curriculum and Instruction if the student wishes to continue beyond the certificate program and is admitted to the M.Ed. program.
