TESOL Major - Liberal Arts: 36 Total Credits
Foreign Language Requirement: (6 cr. hrs.)
(credits not counted in major)
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.
Required Courses: 24 cr. hrs.

Cultural Component 6-8 cr. hrs.
Choose one of the following four ways to fulfill this component:
1. Foreign Language 6-8 cr. hrs.
Course work to fulfill the Cultural Component must be in one language; test
out credits must be supplemented by 3 credits at the 200 level or above. The
Cultural Component requirement may be fulfilled with course work in the same
language as that required for the Foreign Language requirement or in a different
language, but additional foreign language course work must be beyond that required
for the Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree. Alternative cultural
component features for international students: International students who select
this major generally have learning circumstances and career goals that differentiate
them from native English speakers. Therefore, course work in English (6-8 credits
at the 200-level or above) selected in consultation with the advisor must be
used to fulfil the cultural component. (In the case of fluency in English, an
international student may request to do the cultural component foreign language
option in a language other than English.)
