Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Graduate Certificate- Successful completion of this program leads to a certificate in TESOL that could be used towards teaching students of other languages (generally for those who wish to work in other countries teaching English or working remotely teaching students in other countries). This program does not lead to a K-12 teaching certificate. If interested in a teaching certificate review information about one of our ELL programs. 

This program is designed to provide advanced opportunities for those seeking to work with emergent bilinguals, dual language learners, and multi-lingual persons through the Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) in a variety of settings. These settings include but are not limited to programs that provide services for teaching English like adult basic skills programs, those in refugee settings, and programs in other countries. It is anticipated that students will come from a variety of backgrounds.
