The College of New Jersey works cooperatively with The Principals’ Training Center to allow students to earn graduate credit for the completion of specified PTC/TLI/EAL/CTC workshops. Students may combine graduate credit from PTC courses with TCNJ’s programs in Counselor Education, Educational Leadership, Elementary/Secondary Education, and/or Teaching ESL at our summer global site and/or online.
