Prepare to teach English anywhere in the world and join an international community of educators. George Mason University’s master’s in TESOL gives students a professional skill set to embark on new journeys in the U.S. and across the globe and teach English using engaging, culturally responsive teaching strategies.

The core curriculum includes 10 courses that equip students with the tools to create productive learning environments that focus on inclusivity. As a result, they’re prepared to accommodate English learners of all cultural, linguistic, and experiential backgrounds.

While this degree track is not a licensure program, Mason’s online master’s in TESOL effectively prepares graduates for the PRAXIS, English to Speakers of Other Languages exam.

As the only degree program in Virginia accredited by TESOL International Association, Mason realizes the importance of giving graduates the strongest advantage in the job market.
