TESOL

Welcome to the Greensboro College TESOL/BE Community!

Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and Bilingual Education (BE) are ever-growing areas of study as the English language persists as a widely accepted form of communication in social, educational, and business interactions. The TESOL/BE programs at Greensboro College were founded in 2001 and have helped hundreds of students achieve their diverse goals and become successful practitioners in this exciting field.

Graduates of our MA programs find employment in intensive English programs, community colleges, non-profit organizations, corporate training programs, K-12 settings, and private language academies. The MA in TESOL is the universal “golden key” to securing employment in global contexts in a wide range of international teaching contexts. The MA in Bilingual Education opens doors in today’s educational contexts for young learners. And finally, our MAT in TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) prepares candidates for K-12 public schools. All our master’s degrees serve as a pathway to pursuing doctoral studies in fields such as applied linguistics, curriculum and instruction, and cultural and international studies.

All coursework at Greensboro College is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) and recognized by the US Department of Education. Ministries of education around the world have accepted our degree and allowed our teachers to gain positions of leadership with the industry. When you apply to study TESOL at Greensboro College you are joining a robust community of scholars with common interests where you will engage in meaningful discourse and make lifelong connections.
