Program Requirements for the English for Speakers of Other Languages Endorsement
The English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program has two options: earning the endorsement only (15 credit hours), or earning the endorsement plus a Master’s degree (plus 18 credit hours = 33 credit hours). Applicants for either pathway must complete the required graduate courses with a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA. All courses are offered fully online, providing you with convenience and flexibility. Some courses are offered as “short” courses (8 weeks in the fall or spring or 4 weeks in the summer). Click on the course descriptions to learn more about the courses for this program.
