M.A. in TESOL, Grades K - 12 |
The M.A. in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) is designed for students seeking initial certification in TESOL or ESL Education. Students certified in areas other than ESL can enroll to fulfill the graduate degree requirement for professional certification in both areas.
Students with initial or professional certification in areas other than ESL may earn an additional certificate by pursuing in the Advanced Certificate Program in TESOL.
The department does not offer an in-service graduate degree program in TESOL for students who already hold initial certification in ESL. These students are advised to enroll in a graduate program leading to initial certification in an area other than TESOL in order to fulfill the professional certification requirements in both areas.
Applicants must meet the appropriate liberal arts course work mandated by New York States. Any course work required to meet these standards must be completed prior to the final student teaching semester. Candidates for TESOL certification are required to complete 12 credits of a language other than English. The Department of Curriculum and Instruction does not waive the student teaching requirement.
Required Sequence for Full-Time Students
Please Note: In compliance with new state regulations, this program requires a minimum of 100 hours of fieldwork in schools prior to student teaching.
