About PhD Program,
The programs in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) are designed to prepare practicing and prospective teachers, researchers, and leaders with a firm foundation in applied linguistics and language and literacy development to meet the needs of students from diverse backgrounds. Including a substantial field-based component, our TESOL programs are premised on the integration of theory and practice and a reflective model of teaching that incorporates collaboration with colleagues, students, and communities.
In this post-baccalaureate advanced certificate program, you’ll study English language structure and applied linguistics, get hands-on experience through an internship at NYU’s American Language Institute, and acquire pedagogical methods to teach learners from diverse cultural and educational backgrounds. You will be prepared to teach English as a second language in US independent schools and adult programs, as well as internationally at all levels. This program does not lead to teaching certification.
PhD Program Degree Eligibility with GPA,
It is your responsibility to ensure that all materials are in the Office of Graduate Admissions by the appropriate deadline, and we reserve the right to return any application that arrives after the deadline. Only completed applications will be considered. Should a deadline fall on a weekend, the in-office deadline will be the next business day. We advise you to apply early.
Due to the volume of applications and related materials received, the Office of Graduate Admissions will only contact you if your application was successfully submitted and is deemed incomplete because of missing required materials. Otherwise, you will hear from us when the admissions committee has made its decision.
NYU Steinhardt does not allow deferrals. Applicants who wish to be considered for a future semester must reapply by submitting a new application with all supporting materials, including letters of recommendations, by the application deadline.
PhD Funding Coverage,
We award millions of dollars in scholarships to graduate-level students each year to recognize need and merit. While our scholarships may not completely cover your costs, they can be part of a multi-source financial aid package that helps you gain access to NYU Steinhardt’s academic and professional opportunities.
We strongly encourage all US citizens and permanent residents to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to be eligible for the greatest range of aid. We must receive a FAFSA by March 1 for summer/fall enrollment or November 1 for spring enrollment in order to consider you for School-based scholarships. Learn more about applying for financial aid.
Unless otherwise noted, our scholarships are for full-time, on-campus, US citizen or permanent resident students. Students receiving Tuition Remission from NYU are not eligible for school-based scholarships.
Scholarship deadlines are firm, so do not wait for your admissions decision before submitting your FAFSA and/or scholarship application. Applying after the deadline delays the processing of federal aid and may result in you being ineligible for Steinhardt scholarships.

Make sure to request an official copy of the transcript(s) in advance of the deadline.
Transfer Credits
We understand accepted transfer credits may be clearly listed on your degree awarding institution’s transcript. The Office of Graduate Admissions still requires a transcript from the initial credit-granting institution where you took the course(s). Delay in listing and uploading these transcripts can significantly delay the application review process.
Institutions Outside the US or Canada
If you completed or are completing a degree at an institution outside of the US or Canada, you are required to provide a WES or ECE international credentials evaluation. Please review our requirements for translation and a course-by-course evaluation of your transcripts.
