Master of Arts - Teaching English as a Second Language

The Master of Arts - Teaching English as a Second Language program will prepare students to teach in the United States and throughout in the world. A campus-wide focus on cultural diversity will introduce them to a community of learners in a local context.

Students will learn the intricacies of linguistics and teaching from specialists who have lived, worked and taught throughout the world. They will have the opportunity to put their skills to work in a graduate assistantship at St. Cloud State University's English for Academic Purposes program or the Intensive English Center, a program that trains more than 100 English language learners from more than 15 countries each year. These two centers offer 50 assistantships each year.
