ESOL/Bilingual Endorsement

Delivery

Online with on-site internship

Program Overview

We offer endorsements in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and Bilingual Education through Ecampus. This is an 18-credit-hour program for licensed teachers. The site-based internship (TCE 510) can be done from anywhere in the world. However, to get an official Oregon state TSPC ESOL endorsement, the internship and work sample must be done in an Oregon classroom.
