Proposal
Post-Baccalaureate Certificate (P.B.C.)English for Speakers of Other Languages1/26/2025
English for Speakers of Other Languages Program Description
This post-baccalaureate 5-credit hour program consists of 5 graduate courses designed to (a) strengthen the expertise of educational professionals working with K-12 English language learners, and (b) prepare teachers for taking the ESOL Praxis exam, which will lead to K-12 ESOL endorsement. This program proposal requests changing the current ESOL Pathway program to a Certificate in ESOL program. This will essentially be a re- <br>designation of the current post-baccalaureate ESOL Pathway Program to a post-baccalaureate certificate program that maintains current program content.
