Key Facts

Teachers from outside Connecticut should check for alignment of program content with their home state Department of Education licensure or cross-endorsement requirements. The Master of Arts in TESOL Education program follows a cohort instructional model with a fully online delivery structure. Eight-week courses include online classes that meet in real time (synchronous), as well as provide offline (asynchronous) learning experiences within the four hour class period. Online class sessions meet virtually from 4:45 PM – 8:45 PM on the same night of the week. The duration of the program is approximately two years. Students in the Master of Arts in TESOL Education program must have a Bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution with a minimum GPA of 2.5; one year of full time, contracted teaching experience; and access to a classroom and students throughout the duration of the program to fulfill field study requirements. The degree requirements for this program are successful completion of the program’s respective courses (listed below) and completion of a course-embedded capstone project as a university requirement. Upon completion of this program, students will have earned a Master of Arts in TESOL Education. The program is aligned with Connecticut Cross-Endorsement Regulations in TESOL and Bilingual for students who hold current CT teaching certification. Individuals seeking to become TESOL teachers must demonstrate written proficiency in English with a passing score on the Praxis 2 Core Academic Skills Test in Writing. Those seeking to become elementary level bilingual teachers are required to be certified in elementary education AND bilingual education; those seeking to become secondary level bilingual education teachers must be certified in both the subject area they will teach AND in bilingual education. In addition, individuals must demonstrate written proficiency in English with a passing score on the Praxis 2 Core Academic Skills Test in Writing AND proficiency in the other language of instruction through passing scores on the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Language (ACTFL) Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) and Writing Proficiency Test (WPT).
