TESOL Certificate (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages)

The 12-hour TESOL certificate program was designed for individuals wishing to teach English as a foreign language overseas. This certificate provides a minimal credential that could fit within a minor or area of concentration for someone already enrolled in a degree program at FSU. It is not to be confused with state certification to teach ESOL in a U.S. public K-12 setting, which is available through our MOST program in ESOL teaching.

For some students, the certificate serves as a way of completing some coursework before committing to the full master's degree in TESOL.
