Coordinator: Margaret van Naerssen, Ph.D.

The increasing number of persons of limited English proficiency demands teachers, counselors, administrators, and social workers who are well-prepared. The Master of Arts Program in Cultural and Linguistic Diversity responds to a genuine need and offers a consistent vision of the United States as a multicultural nation whose rapidly changing population requires competently prepared personnel.  

Students in the program will be prepared to develop contemporary strategies, models, and programs in school and community settings and to appreciate the challenges and conflicts involved in developing interdependence within multicultural diversity.   The two certificate programs provide the basic competencies to those interested in working with English language learners at the K-12 level or for those interested in teaching other populations, either in the U.S. or abroad.
