A Certificate in English as a Second Language (ESL)/Bilingual Education provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the characteristics and unique needs of children who do not speak English as their first language, as well as the interventions, strategies, and supports to promote academic, social, and behavioral growth. Students may complete the 12-credit course progression as an admitted student to the certificate program, or as part of a degree-seeking program in the School of Education.
