M.A. in TESOL
NOTE: SJSU's M.A. in TESOL is suspended as of Fall 2023. - Plan A (with Thesis)
Completion of 30 units (27 core units; 3 units of 299). The thesis option allows a student to pursue research in an area of common interest to the student and a faculty member. A thesis proposal may grow out of a course or be developed in a LLD 298, and must be approved by the student's Thesis Committee. LLD 299 then serves as an opportunity to implement the thesis proposal. See Catalog for details. Please note that the thesis option is not guaranteed, and most of our students pursue Plan B. See the program's Frequently Asked Questions for more information.
