The Master of Science degree in Education with a specialization in Teaching English for Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) provides students a background in the theory and practice of teaching English to second language learners in English speaking countries. This program allows graduate students to further develop their English language teaching skills or to begin a specialized career in the field of TESOL.
