Master of Education in English As A Second Language Track

California University of Pennsylvania's Advanced Studies in Teacher Education is a completely online 33 credit graduate program for certified teachers interested in gaining a Master's degree, and seek additional certification in English as a Second Language (ESL). The curriculum is aligned with the PA Department of Education ESL Program Specialist Standards and Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Standards. Graduate students in the English as a Second Language degree program will apply knowledge in the following domains: language, culture, instruction, assessment, and professionalism. In each of these domains educators will be challenged to develop professionalism in language education, promote individual language rights, provide accessible and high quality education, develop collaboration in a global community, engage in research and reflective practice for educational improvement, and cultivate a respect for diversity and multiculturalism.

Out of state students are welcome to apply, but should first contact their State Department of Education for further information regarding certification requirements and reciprocity agreements.
