Early Childhood Bilingual/ESL endorsement. To be eligible to enroll in any of these programs, students must hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university.
Educators seeking a Bilingual endorsement, an English as a Second Language endorsement, or an Early Childhood Bilingual/ESL endorsement must also hold a teaching license.
