TESOL Minor - Education: 24 Total Credits

Foreign Language Requirement: 6 cr. hrs.
(credits not counted in minor)
6 semester hours of a foreign language, the high school equivalent, or proven proficiency in a foreign language is required of all students pursuing a TESOL major. This foundation requirement is not included in the number of credit hours needed for the major proper. The 6 semester hours are separate from the Cultural Component. A first language used by a major who is a non-native speaker of English to satisfy this language requirement cannot be used as the basis for satisfying the cultural requirement below; study in the English language should be used for such a student or, in the case of fluency in English, the student may request to do the cultural component in a language other than English or the student‚s native language. In the case of fluency in both English and a native language, a student may elect to satisfy this language requirement by a third language.
You cannot have a TESOL education minor with a liberal arts major--you must have a major in education.
