School of Teaching English
as a Second Language

The School of Teaching English as a Second Language (S-TESL) is located in the north Seattle neighborhood of Licton Springs, near North Seattle Community College. A maximum of 12 credits may be applied to the Seattle University Master's degree in TESOL.

The agreement between S-TESL and Seattle University adds value to our program in several ways: it gives you the opportunity to learn from a variety of experienced ESOL professionals and classmates, it gives you access to valuable employment information, and it provides a broad choice of TESOL electives.

In order for the S-TESL courses to be applied to a graduate degree, you must complete an additional project and pay an additional Reader’s Fee of $75 per course. Procedures for completing the project will be stipulated by the instructor of the course at S-TESL.

The $100.00 deposit for S-TESL day classes is non-refundable, but can be transferred once to the next intensive course with available space if requested in writing before the originally-selected course begins. Remaining tuition for the day classes is non-refundable unless requested in writing at least one week prior to the beginning of the originally-selected course or unless substitution of another student is made (determination made by the School of Teaching ESL). Tuition for night classes is non-refundable unless requested in writing at least one week before the class begins. If any tuition is refunded for either day or night classes, a $30.00 administrative fee per class will be withheld.

Courses at the School of TESL are offered in the evening (5:30-8:30). A block of four courses may also be taken as a daytime intensive program (EPDES 930, 931,932, 933), and is offered 11 times a year. Please contact the School of TESL for schedule and registration information (206.781.8607). A current S-TESL brochure is available in the Program Office.
