Master of Arts Degree in

Foreign Language / ESOL Education


The USF College of Education offers Graduate Certificates as well as two types of Master's degrees in Foreign Language Education/ESOL:

  • MAT
  • M.Ed.


The completion of an MAT (Master's of Arts in Teaching) in Foreign Language Education at USF will result in your meeting the minimum certification requirements of the State of Florida for teaching foreign languages in K-12 public schools.  This certification is, thanks to reciprocity agreements with other states, valid in approximately 38 U.S. states.

Completing an MAT in Foreign Language Education will also result in your obtaining the ESOL endorsement required by the State of Florida Department of Education.

Some courses, such as the ESOL endorsement courses, are offered both on-line and on campus.  However, most of the Master's level courses are offered on the Tampa campus.

The MAT is a fast track (42 credit hours) program designed for native speakers or people who have majored in the foreign language for  their undergraduate degree.
