The ESOL Graduate Certificate and Dual Language Graduate Certificate programs start in summer term or fall term. Applications are now closed for the 2022-2023 academic year. Applications for summer 2023 start will be open in March 2023.

The English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Endorsement Program at Oregon State University focuses on helping Oregon's pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade (PK-12) teachers learn how to effectively work with students who are learning English as an additional language. If you are bilingual in English and Spanish you can earn an ESOL endorsement and a Dual Language specialization at the same time.
