It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Graduate College of Education (Grad Ed) at Temple University Japan (TUJ). As Executive Director, I take great pride in overseeing programs that are internationally recognized for their academic rigor, innovative approaches, and strong commitment to preparing educators and researchers who will make a lasting impact on the world of education.
At TUJ Grad Ed, we offer two dynamic graduate programs tailored specifically for working and teaching professionals: the Master of Science in Education (MSEd) in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and the Doctor of Philosophy in Education (PhD) in Applied Linguistics. Both programs are designed to provide you with the advanced knowledge, practical skills, and global perspectives necessary to excel in your professional career while balancing the demands of a full-time role in today’s interconnected world.
Our MSEd in TESOL program is ideal for educators who are passionate about teaching English as a second or foreign language. Whether you are an experienced teacher or new to the field, our program offers a flexible and comprehensive curriculum grounded in both theory and practice. You will have the opportunity to engage with expert faculty and peers from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds, deepening your understanding of language education in global contexts.
For those pursuing a more research-oriented career, our PhD in Applied Linguistics offers an intellectually stimulating environment where you can explore the intricacies of language learning, use, and teaching. Our doctoral program emphasizes advanced research methods and critical inquiry, enabling you to contribute to the academic and professional community with innovative research that addresses real-world challenges.
At TUJ, we are proud to provide a supportive and inclusive academic community where students are encouraged to collaborate, innovate, and challenge conventional thinking. As a student here, you will not only gain invaluable expertise but also develop lifelong professional networks that span the globe.
I invite you to explore the unique opportunities offered by the Graduate College of Education and to consider becoming part of our vibrant academic community. We are here to help you achieve your educational and professional goals, and we look forward to supporting you along the way.
