Meet your students’ needs with MBU
Teaching is about forging real connections with students and helping them break down their barriers to learning. For many students, the largest barrier is language itself. As the English Language Learner (ELL) population grows, so does the demand for specially trained instructors to help these students succeed inside and outside the classroom.
Mary Baldwin University’s Master of Education with a concentration in English as a Second Language (ESL) provides the skills you need to make a true difference in the lives of ELL students, allowing you to address one of the fastest-growing needs in education.
If your interest is piqued to work with culturally and linguistically diverse students, this program is for you.
