Description and Objective of the Certificate:
The TESOL Certificate is a fifteen-hour undergraduate certificate. The certificate may be completed by any undergraduate student.

The TESOL Certificate will be awarded at the end of the undergraduate program. A notation will be made on the GRU transcript once the courses are completed.
