The Masters in Applied Second Language Acquisition at Carnegie Mellon University is a one-year intensive program preparing U.S. and international students for careers in second language teaching in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, and English as a Second Language (ESL). The program, now inviting applicants for Fall 2021, draws on strengths of the Department of Modern Languages at Carnegie Mellon in the areas of second-language acquisition, cultural studies, pedagogy, and technology-enhanced learning. MA graduates will be eligible for employment in institutions of higher learning, as well as in private schools or public (alternative-certification) secondary schools, and (especially in ESL) in a multitude of settings abroad. The MA in Applied Second Language Acquisition may also lead to further graduate work in second language studies.
Prospective students include holders of undergraduate degrees with three profiles:
1) speakers of English as a first language with a major in foreign language studies;
2) speakers of English as a first language with humanities degrees and second-language experience; and or 3) international students with degrees in humanities and language-related fields. The application portal will open on November 30, with a deadline of February 4, 2021 for the Fall 2021 class.
