General Information
Current program enrollment
is approximately 75 graduate students. Approximately
9% of these students are in the Post-Master’s
certificate program. Most students attend
part-time; about 66% take two courses each
quarter and about 15% take only one. With
careful planning, a full-time student can
complete the Master’s degree programs
in 5 or 6 quarters.
Approximately 20% of program students are
international students. Students from Romania,
China, Guam, Hungary, Korea, Japan, Taiwan,
Uganda, and Vietnam have participated. An
additional 11% can be classified as American
ethnic minorities (African-American, Chinese-American,
Filipino-American, Hispanic-American). About
a fourth of the current TESOL students are
male.
Top
About 20% of the current students have no
prior teaching experience in ESOL; over 40%
have taught for two years or more. TESOL students
have an extremely varied educational background.
However, most of the current students majored
in arts & sciences as undergraduates (33%
majored in languages, including English; 26%
majored in social sciences; only 5% majored
in science). Approximately 7% majored in education.
Most of the TESOL students are planning to
teach ESOL both abroad and in the U.S. (66%).
Only 33% are planning to teach exclusively
in the U.S. Students are evenly split in wanting
to teach refugees/immigrants vs. international
students, with many students planning to teach
both populations sometime in the future.
