MAT TESL
Greensboro College offers the Licensure Plus Master of Arts in Teaching for Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL). The program prepares teachers to work with K-12 students for whom English is a second language.
LICENSURE COURSEWORK
The Licensure Plus MAT is divided into two steps. Step One leads to the N.C. Standard Professional 1 license. Students may stop at Step One or complete Step Two for only 15 more hours of coursework and earn the “M” license and Master of Arts in Teaching degree in TESL.
Students who have completed coursework in another GC TESOL program maybe be able to apply their credits toward licensure, but additional coursework and requirements must be met.
Coursework required for the Licensure Plus MAT in TESL can be found here.
“What stood out to me during my time at GC is how diverse the faculty is and accessible they made themselves to students. Seems like whenever I had a question, the answer arrived in moments. It’s clear that the program’s instructors care deeply about their students and model what it means to be a responsive and flexible teacher.”
