How to Apply to the AU TESOL Program

You must apply for admission through CAS (College of Arts and Sciences). For a step-by-step description of the application process for any TESOL related master's program (the MA in TESOL, the MAT:ESOL, the MIP) click here.

From the link above, you can complete a master's application in two ways:
(a) apply interactively on-line (Note: AU's on-line application is most compatible with Microsoft's "Internet Explorer" browser. Netscape works but it can be a little problematic. We have not had experience with other browsers - if you use a different browser, please share your experiences with us).

(b) retrieve the downloadable application by clicking Apply (on the left), and then Downloadable Forms. However, if you do not apply on-line the application fee jumps from $50 to $80 dollars.

To apply to the TESOL Certicate Program click here and go to the link of your choosing (downloadable or on-line options) at the bottom of the page. There is a $50 registration fee for the TESOL Certificate, payable to "American University." Please send your payment, either check or cash, to

ADDITIONAL NOTES
To send TOEFL scores directly to the instruction use Institution Code 5007 (American University) and Department Code 04 (linguistics).

To apply to the MIP (our joint program with Peace Corps) apply to the MA in TESOL and write in "MIP" beside it.

If you check the box requesting that you be considered for merit award, you will automatically be consider for any possible type of award that you might be eligible for.
