This MA program also serves as excellent preparation for those aiming to enter doctoral programs in applied linguistics or education.
The TESOL MA curriculum delivers comprehensive instruction in English linguistics, foundational knowledge in language learning theories, and hands-on training through a distinctive methodology sequence. Students benefit from a structured practicum component and diverse internship options, both for academic credit and paid positions, while gaining substantial classroom teaching experience throughout the program.
