Career Outlook

ESL teachers may work in public or private schools, language academies, or teach private lessons out of their home or the homes of students. ESL students can be found in all age ranges, from children to adults.  As communities throughout the United States become more culturally diverse, teachers trained in English as a Second Language (ESL) are in demand in schools and other institutional settings. According to the U.S Department of Education, at least 19 states are reporting shortages of ESL teachers.

Career paths include:

  • Adult ESL educator
  • K-12 ESL educator
  • Literacy teacher

Finance Your Education

The University of Nebraska offers some of the most affordable tuition rates in the region, particularly for our online programs. Explore the array of funding options to finance your education in a way that makes sense for you.

Online tuition rates are calculated by credit hour and college offering the course and, because the University of Nebraska is a public institution supported by Nebraska taxpayers, Nebraska residents may receive a lower tuition rate than out-of-state students.
