English as a Second Language (ESL) prepares the student to teach English as a second language in various contexts, focusing on local PK-12 schools. Students in any program may complete the ESL courses and receive a document of completion. However, for education students in a certification program, this leads to the add-on English as a Second Language (ESL) Program Specialist PK-12 certificate from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
