ONE-YEAR TESL CERTIFICATE

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 also part of the BRE degree program concentration in TESL. This certificate program is especially attractive to students who have already earned a bachelor’s degree or equivalent and want to pursue a concentrated program of study in TESL. The TESL Certificate Program may be completed through full- or part-time online study.

The One-Year TESL Certificate is available Online.

The TESL Certificate program is not intended for those who wish to teach English as a Second Language within public schools in the United States and it does not grant state certification. It should be noted that in most countries, it is impossible to obtain a work permit for an ESL or EFL teaching position without a baccalaureate degree.

Students without a prior degree are encouraged to enroll in the BRE degree with a major in Bible/Theology and a concentration in TESL.

PREREQUISITES OF COURSE

Admission to this program is limited to students who already possess:

  • At least 12 semester hours (or equivalent) of Bible or Theology
  • At least 6 semester hours of college English
  • A desire to apply their skills as Teachers of English as a Second Language as a ministry.
  • Particular requirements may be waived at the discretion of the Registrar.
