Overview

This The English as a Second Language program at the University of Virginia is ideal for working professionals seeking a flexible licensure program. All coursework is in an online, asynchronous format. Candidates typically take 1-2 courses per semester but will work with an advisor to develop an individual plan of study to meet their needs.
