The TESOL graduate certificate program prepares you to teach English abroad. You'll take a set of core courses that situate teaching English as a social, cultural, historical, and political endeavor in a variety of educational institutions outside the United States.
You'll also work with specific materials (teaching videos, media clips, etc.) describing the cultural and educational backgrounds of the target countries to help you understand how English is learned and used.
The TESOL graduate certificate program was created for persons who have an undergraduate degree from an accredited university and are interested in teaching English abroad.
