Program offered is a Master.

The Master of Education in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) (Not Eligible for Institutional Recommendation) program is designed for certified teachers or administrators with an interest in teaching ESL students in the classroom or serving as a district ESL coordinator. Applicants to this program are required to submit a copy of a current teaching certificate or provide evidence of a minimum of one year of teaching experience. The format and courses of this regionally accredited program are tailored to meet the needs of the adult learner and to maximize strengths that the working educator possesses. Courses are taught by experts in their respective fields who share knowledge and experience in areas of linguistics, second language acquisition, and curriculum development. Courses are aligned to the TESOL standards. Opportunities are provided to apply concepts, theories, and research throughout the program, but particularly in a TESOL practicum that guides students through observational and practice-based experiences. Graduates of the program are prepared to become leaders in the ESL/TESOL initiatives that districts must undertake in an ever-increasing school climate of diversity.
