Overview

Many MA in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages program at Lee University offer only a basic level of knowledge in TESOL, but the program at Lee University is for students who already have a foundation in TESOL, through coursework or experience.

The MA program can be completed in a calendar year—beginning in the summer and finishing in May the following year. It can also be taken at a slower pace if desired.
