Applicants may pursue admissions if they have an undergraduate degree in majors like anthropology, applied linguistics, cognitive science, communication, comparative languages and literature, education, English literature, history or law.




    Applicants must have a minimum of a 3.00 cumulative GPA in the last 60 hours of a student's first bachelor's degree program. Alternatively, applicants must have a minimum of a 3.00 cumulative GPA in an applicable master's degree program.




    All applicants must submit:
  • Graduate admission application and application fee.
  • Official transcripts.
  • Statement of purpose.
  • Three letters of recommendation.
  • Up-to-date curriculum vitae or resume.

  • Additional Admission Requirements:
      An applicant whose native language is not English (regardless of current residency) must provide proof of English proficiency. Applicants should see the Department of English website for specific details about English proficiency requirements.




      The one-page, single-spaced statement of purpose should explain how the master’s in TESOL program fits within the applicant's long-term goals.




      Letters of recommendation should provide a clear picture of the applicant's potential for successfully completing a master's degree. At least some of the letters should be from university professors familiar with the applicant's academic work and with master's-level academic programs.
