Multicultural Studies in Education M.S. with Bilingual or ESL and Special Education Specializations

Put Your People and Language Skills to a Rewarding Use

The College of Education at University of Houston-Clear Lake offers a Master of Science in Multicultural Studies in Education with the option of adding supplemental certificates either in English as a Second Language (ESL) or Bilingual Education, as well as Special Education. Teachers with specialized skills for teaching in culturally and linguistically diverse settings make a difference in the lives of children. Statistics show a serious shortage of bilingual and ESL teachers in many urban and rural school districts – especially ones with experience in special education.

ESL teachers work with non-English speakers to improve their reading, comprehension, and speaking of the English language. Bilingual education teachers instruct in two languages, which helps strengthen students’ native languages while building English proficiency and mastery of grade-level content. 

Great Teaching Matters. Become a Teacher and Change Lives.

This interdisciplinary Master of Science program will enhance your understanding of issues affecting public school students from a range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds. The program is designed to prepare you comprehensively at an advanced level so you can deal effectively with the many multicultural issues and concerns that exist in schools today.

Graduates with this degree can pursue careers in public schools, community colleges and non-school settings. Depending upon specialized coursework, graduates’ career options may include bilingual or ESL teacher, school district multicultural education/diversity coordinator, ESL teacher for the community college and non-school settings, adult literacy or continuing education teacher – and all with a focus in special education.
