Department of Curriculum and Instruction
The United States remains a country of many languages – and many of those are spoken by children in P-12 schools. English as a Second Language/Bilingual teachers are needed to design and implement instruction for diverse learners – and to advocate for their families. Our 33-semester-hour M.S.Ed. in Literacy Education with a specialization in English as a Second Language/Bilingual Education will prepare you to teach those children to learn English as they grow in their knowledge and confidence to thrive in our nation.
