TESOL (BA)

Why TESOL?

The world is increasingly more in need of educators who can teach English. In a TESOL program, you will learn how to teach English to English learners through a study of linguistics, culture and community, grammar, and pronunciation. This equips you to work with immigrants, refugees, international students, business professionals, and many others.
