Heidelberg University now offers a Computer Science endorsement (K-12) taught by campus-based full-time and adjunct faculty. A series of four courses is required for this endorsement.
This educator endorsement is added to a current Ohio teaching license and adds computer science content and courses in grades K-12 to the original license
