Academic Programs: Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) One Year Certificate

(Does Not Lead to New York State Teacher Certification or Certification in Education Leadership)

The One-Year Certificate in Teaching English as a Second Language is a 24-hour, two-semester program that provides the specialized courses that are part of the BRE degree program concentration in TESL.

The one-year TESL certificate program is especially attractive to those individuals coming from other institutions who already possess a bachelors degree or equivalent and want to engage in a concentrated program of study in TESL. Scholarship information for international students interested in this program is available.


Meet Julie Lewis, a 1999 Graduate of Davis College, and Graduate from our One Year TESL Certificate Program, currently an Adjunct Professor at Binghamton University:

“The TESL Certificate program at Davis College was the perfect fit for me to fill in the gap between my ESL teaching experience and my lack of formal education in TESL. As a current adjunct professor in ESL at Binghamton University, I have been able to readily implement the very practical tools and techniques taught in the TESL program at Davis. Every single class has contributed to my effectiveness and ability to teach English as a second language.”
