About the course

The M.A. TESOL Program is a professional education program designed to prepare graduate students to teach English to speakers of other languages. A unique feature of our program is its combination of extensive field experience and clinical practice with grounding in intellectually rigorous coursework based in the scientific study of language structure, language use, and language acquisition. There are two tracks. One is a 48-credit curriculum that leads to the M.A. TESOL degree plus New York State teacher certification. This is the appropriate track for those who are seeking the MA and a first teacher certification. The other track consists of 30 credits and leads to the M.A. TESOL degree only. This track is intended for those with teacher certification in an area other than TESOL who wish to obtain TESOL certification, or those who are not interested in teacher certification. Upon completion of the 30 credit M.A., those in the former group can apply directly to New York State for alternate route certification in TESOL. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
