Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, P.B.C. (Online)

The Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), Post-Baccalaureate Certificate (P.B.C.) online program addresses an area of critical teacher shortage in Maryland and across the country. Our program better prepares educators to support multilingual students, particularly those in mainstream educational settings. Graduates of the TESOL PBC may apply course credit toward the M.Ed. in TESOL or another area from the College of Education. We invite you to learn more about tuition cost-savings associated with this pathway!

This program is for individuals with a Bachelor's degree who are interested in teaching English, including

• Educators wanting to learn about working with English learners in their content areas
• Certified teachers seeking add-on endorsements in ESOL.
• Educators who teach English in the U.S. or overseas.

This 12-credit program prepares students to pass the ESOL endorsement Praxis exam.

Course credits earned through this certificate program can be counted in the future toward an M.Ed. in TESOL at University of Maryland College of Education.
