Teaching English as a Foreign Language Graduate Certificate
The Graduate Certificate Program in Teaching English as a Foreign Language is intended for aspiring teachers of English for non-native speakers, as well as for practicing teachers who would like to enhance their skills and credentials. Students will be better prepared to teach English in a wide range of contexts, both abroad and domestically, or to pursue a graduate degree in TEFL or another field within applied linguistics. A total of 18 credit hours are required to complete the certificate program, 15 hours (5 courses) of required, core courses, and 3 hours (1 course) of an approved elective course.
This certificate may connect with one or more master degree programs. At the recommendation of the academic program, students may apply credits earned through this graduate certificate completion towards a graduate program at Kansas State University, provided that all Graduate School policies are fulfilled.
