Overview

Program Description A Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is a widely accepted and recognized program that reflects a student’s initial academic and practical preparation in the teaching of English as a second language (ESL) or English as a foreign language (EFL). Note: Though it has a similar name, it should not be confused with the state Teacher Certification which is necessary to teach in the public school system. Students who may want to pursue the TESOL Certificate would typically be interested in living, teaching and traveling abroad after graduation. In some locations at language schools abroad, a TESOL Certificate or its equivalent may be a requirement for entry-level employment as a language instructor. Other students who may have interest in the certificate may want to pursue graduate studies in linguistics, TESOL or foreign languages. This certificate is only available to UT's full-time students.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
