Cohort Scheduling
Because the University of Delaware's TESL degree is designed as a cohort program that fosters cooperation and collegiality among candidates, the admissions committee generally admits students only for the Fall semester. Requests for a Spring admission will be considered on a case-by-case basis, with requests being directed in writing to Dr. Scott Stevens (sstevens@udel.edu) by October 1. If the request is approved, complete applications for Spring admission must be received no later than November 1.
Completing the Electronic Application Form
The University of Delaware has a Web-based application form that permits you to save your data so you do not have to complete your submission in one sitting. To apply to our TESL master's program, please follow this link: http://www.udel.edu/gradoffice/applicants/.
