Endorsement Program in English as a Second Language (ESL) and Bilingual/Bicultural Education


Coordinator: Mary Curran (848-932-0790; email: mary.curran@gse.rutgers.edu)

Please visit the website.

The nondegree endorsement program for English as a Second Language (ESL) and bilingual/bicultural certification is designed for individuals who possess a New Jersey standard teaching certificate in English, health, mathematics, physical education, reading, science, social studies, art, dance, music, or elementary education and who wish to earn the bilingual/bicultural endorsement.

The program consists of seven courses (21 credits) and does not, by itself, lead to an academic degree. Candidates will be recommended for the bilingual/bicultural endorsement upon completion of the 21-credit program and then will have the option of continuing in the Ed.M. program.

*Students who have taken 05:300:452 and 453 as part of a five-year or postbaccalaureate initial certification program at the GSE may substitute those courses for 253:510. Only students who took these courses as part of a GSE initial certification program may make the substitution.

Program Requirements

The program requires 21 credits of study in seven courses. All 21 credits in the endorsement program must be completed at Rutgers; no transfer credits will be accepted. All students seeking bilingual/bicultural certification are required to pass an oral proficiency interview and a written proficiency test in English and in the language of the students to be taught; these are administered by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL).
