The standard MATESOL degree is usually earned over four semesters although some students may be able to complete their studies in a shorter period of time and others may require additional time depending on their semester of entry and goals in the program. The degree may also be pursued on a part-time basis. International students must apply at least 90 days prior to the first class meeting of the term in which they wish to enter. No more than 12 credits may be taken during any given semester without written approval from the program director.

All MATESOL students are required to complete GSL 500 , GSL 542 , and GSL 543  as outlined in the Master of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages  section of this catalog.
