English as a Second Language with K-12 Licensure: Urban Education (MS)
Expand your credentials to serve the needs of increasing immigrant and refugee populations to learn English for success in school and life. Gain an additional Minnesota teaching license for grades K-12 ESL and your Masters degree. Our flexible program also allows you to complete only the additional K12 ESL licensure program if you are not interested in the Masters, or only the Masters degree without licensure if you just want more understanding and skill in working with English learners of any age.Sign up and learn more about the Urban Education MS at one of our Zoom information sessions.Our approach to teacher education focuses on preparing diverse, reflective and resilient teachers who are outstanding in their commitment to teaching urban youth and creating equitable educational opportunities. While this program is primarily designed to meet the needs of urban elementary, middle and high schools for licensed ESL teachers who can improve students' educational achievement, others who work with English learners outside of the K-12 school setting will find this concentration worthwhile in our Urban Education Masters degree.
