Three doctoral sub-specializations in a) School Administration and Supervision, b) Counseling, and c) Clinical Psychology.

The Master of Arts degree satisfies New Jersey certification requirements. It is a 39-credit program designed for students who want to become teachers of Bilingual Education.

Under present regulations, students who satisfy certification requirements in New Jersey may apply for re-certification in 30 other states in the nation.

The Master of Arts in Bilingual Education and Educational Specialist degrees offer concentrations in Spanish/English, Chinese/English, Japanese/English, Korean/English, and Haitian Creole/English.

The Educational Specialist in Bilingual Education is a 39-credit program degree for practitioners holding a master’s degree in a related field, who wish to upgrade their credentials or add an additional certification.

The Fellowship Program in Bilingual Education offers sub-specialization in Bilingual Education to candidates who wish to pursue a doctoral degree in School Administration and Supervision, Counseling Psychology, or Clinical Psychology (fellowship opportunities may be available upon application).*

There are two graduate programs in Teaching English as a Second Language:
