Unique Academic Programs
- Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) - Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certification is for anyone who is interested in teaching English overseas after graduation, regardless of your major. The need for qualified English teachers increases each year, and there are opportunities in nearly every country. The best teaching jobs typically require candidates to have a bachelor’s degree and a TEFL certificate (or equivalent). The TEFL certificate requires the completion of four courses (12 credit hours): INTS 320 Teaching English Abroad I; INTS 321 Teaching English Abroad II; INTS 322 Teaching English Abroad Practicum; EDUC 380 Second Language Acquisition (or EDUC 385 Assessment for ELLs). INTS 320 and INTS 321 are offered in the fall and INTS 322 is offered in the spring. EDUC 380 is offered online during summer and spring semesters. If you came to MSSU for the fall and spring semesters, you could earn the TEFL certificate.
