MAT ESL

This program has two tracks:

(1) the Master of Arts in Teaching English as a Second Language licensure program, which leads to Commonwealth of Massachusetts initial licensure to teach English as a Second Language in grades PK- 12.

(2) the Master of Arts in Teaching English as a Second Language non-licensure program for those who already possess ELL licensure but don’t have a graduate degree, or for those interested in teaching in community based programs, adult education programs, college programs, language schools in the U.S. or overseas.

Both programs provide a foundation for those who wish to pursue doctoral studies in ESL.

We also offer a Certificate Program in teaching ESL.
