MA in TESOL Deadlines
Fall Term 2026
Open Admissions: This program offers open admissions for domestic students. We continue to work with applicants after deadlines on a case-by-case basis, as space permits.
Open admissions is not available for international students. International students must meet specific deadlines to comply with governmental regulations and Office of International Student Services (OISS) requirements. For purposes of admission, international students are defined solely on their citizenship/residency status. If a student does not hold citizenship or permanent residency in the United States, the student is classified as an international student.
Application deadline scholarships noted below are not guaranteed as they depend on available funding on a first-come, first-served basis. Students are encouraged to submit the application form and complete the application process as soon as possible.
