Programs Overview

Working together in partnership, Seattle University and the School of Teaching English as a Second Language offer the following options for students interested in preparation for teaching ESOL:

The MA degrees require a total of 48 credits, of which three credits are dedicated to the Graduate Project (see GRADUATE PROJECT, p.29, in the Student Handbook). The M.Ed. degrees require 48 credits, all of which are earned through completion of courses. The Post-Master’s Certificate requires 24 credits of coursework. All three options require completion of a three credit internship in a TESOL setting.

You are encouraged to discuss these options with your advisor. You may prefer one option over another based on learning preferences, interest in completing a Graduate Project, and/or topic interests that may be appropriate for a Graduate Project. A final decision regarding the M.A. vs. M.Ed. is made when the Candidacy Form is filed (see CANDIDACY, p.21, in the Student Handbook).
