Top Education Degrees recognized Kennesaw State’s Master of Education in Teaching English for Speakers of Other Languages online program as one of the top 20 best online English learning degrees in the nation.
According to the TED website, the master’s degree program ranked No. 6 among the 20 university programs listed and was the only Georgia university master’s program that made the ranking.
The ranking took into consideration tuition, student to faculty ratio and national recognition within the program. They also offered three extra points in the ranking system for universities that offer an online discount on tuition for students.
The program at KSU consists of 36 credit hours with “coursework in critical inquiry and cultural issues,” according to the website.
TED commended the Master of Education in Teaching English for Speakers of Other Languages programs on its website, stating that: “Students who do not speak or write or read English well cannot expect to do well in their other subjects nor will they get or keep a good job. By helping those students achieve greater fluency in English, you will affect not only them, but you will also have a lasting influence on their descendants.”
Laura Kilmartin, an online relations specialist for TED, said that the site’s mission is to provide information that students need to find a degree program that will best suit their needs and their personal career goals.
KSU’s fully-online program “prepares teachers to educate an increasingly diverse population of students in Georgia through inclusive practices,” according to KSU’s online learning website.
The M.Ed. in Teaching English for Speakers of Other Languages is approved by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission and is fully accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.
