"The TESOL graduate program has been a wonderful experience. Not only has it provided me with a great introduction to the TESOL field, but it has also given me a multi-dimensional perspective on student populations, educational methods, and the cultural and sociolinguistics issues that surround them. The professors are highly experienced and knowledgeable in TESOL, and they have provided exciting and informative classes throughout the program. I feel that I am fully prepared and equipped for an exciting new career in TESOL."

- Sarah Wilson, TESOL alumnus
