Why do I need at least a bachelor's degree to study at S-TESL?

Seattle University College of Education has only graduate level and post baccalaureate classes. The classes offered for Seattle University at S-TESL, numbered Educational Professional Development (EPDES) 930-960, are post-baccalaureate classes, hence, are usually offered to those who have completed a bachelor's degree.

What if I don't have a bachelor's degree, can I still study at S-TESL?

Occasionally, the Director of S-TESL can make exceptions if the potential student has an extensive educational background, but has not yet completed a degree.

If you do not have a bachelor's degree and wish to receive the training, you must send an email requesting a waiver to STESLinfo@seattleu.edu.

Keep in mind, many employment situations in TESOL require that you have, at a minimum, a bachelor's degree.
