The Certificate of Graduate Study in English as a Second Language (ESL) prepares you to work with English Language Learners (ELL) in K–12, college, and adult settings - both in the US and abroad. The program is recognized by TESOL/CAEP, a national accreditation body for ESL teacher education programs in the United States. Upon successful completion, students become eligible for state certification, which allows them to teach English as a Second Language in K-12 schools. You can take advantage of our accelerated timeline and complete state certification in nearly half the traditional time.
