SUMMER PROGRAM

Earn a master's degree in TESL in three summers.

Inter American University of Puerto Rico’s campus in San Germán, Puerto Rico, offers an intensive MA-TESL Summer Program that allows teachers to work towards their degree during summers. Participants of the Summer Program have the opportunity to be part of a select and uniquely diverse group of teachers from Puerto Rico, the US, and other countries.

Summer Program participants can complete the 36-credit course requirement of the program by taking a total of 12 courses during three consecutive summers: two courses each June and two each July. The comprehensive exam will be administered when coursework has been completed.

The goals of the Summer Program are the following:

• to permit teachers to complete their degree during the summer without affecting their regular employment,
• to encourage interaction among teachers from different institutions and locations, and
  
  
• to experience living in a predominantly ESL environment while working toward a degree in TESL.

Students who wish to live in a dormitory with other participants of the program should apply for housing by the end of April of the year they intend to attend.
