 Return to: Programs by Degree, Minor, or Certificate
Introduction
The TESOL minor is intended to equip students with knowledge and skills necessary for teaching English as a second or foreign language, whether overseas or in other educational settings. Those who wish to enter a graduate degree program in TESOL will build a strong foundation in this field. This program does not lead to an endorsement in ESOL at K-12, unless students are already admitted to the undergraduate initial teaching licensure program in the College of Education.
Students should consult with the ESOL program coordinator, Catherine Kim, to plan their course of study. A student enrolling in ESOL and EDUC courses should have at least junior standing and must complete all courses with a grade of C or better.
