Master in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)

The Master's in TESOL at Kennesaw State University is an advanced program that will prepare you, as a teacher, to educate an increasingly diverse population of students in Georgia.

The program of study in TESOL focuses on teaching students who are culturally and linguistically diverse in inclusive environments. The program includes core courses in curriculum development, collaborative practices, and content area teaching strategies in reading and writing.

As a TESOL student, you will receive the ESOL Endorsement after the first two semesters in the TESOL program.

The TESOL program enrolls a new cohort of experienced general education teachers each fall. It is structured so you can complete the 36-credit-hour master’s degree program in six semesters (two years).

The course is entirely online, and no on-campus attendance is required. Online coursework is taught by graduate faculty utilizing technology to provide synchronous and asynchronous content delivery, feedback, and supervision as you complete field experience in your current work setting.

The M.Ed. in TESOL has been approved by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission (GaPSC) and is fully accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).
