The M.A. TESOL program welcomes prospective professionals in the area of TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from the U.S. and abroad. The program is designed to enrich students' understanding of advanced theory and current practices in TESOL. Theoretical exploration and practical experience are well balanced to provide students with expertise in the contemporary applications of TESOL.
