Master of Arts Degree
The MA in Foreign Language Teaching has been fully and intentionally online since 2012. It will enhance the work that you are doing as a language teacher from the first module of the first course until long after you publish your final portfolio.
Our students and alumni teach more than 20 languages around the world. Most of them completed the MAFLT in less than 3 years while working full-time.

Our graduate programs are designed to meet the needs of current teachers and aspiring educators of any target language. Intentionally and thoughtfully constructed from the beginning to provide an outstanding #SpartanExperience in a fully online, asynchronous, yet interactive format.
Our courses emphasize proficiency-based approaches and effective integration of culture and technology, guided by current research and internationally-recognized standards. Small class sizes allow for detailed feedback and mentoring from our core faculty.
Cost of attendance is far lower than any traditional graduate program at MSU. Students pay the same low tuition from anywhere in the world, in-state, out-of-state, or international.
Our students and alumni reside in 40 U.S. states and nearly 20 countries. They typically work full-time before, during, and after graduate school. We connect regularly through virtual and in-person events.
Our core and affiliated faculty are experienced language teachers and teacher educators with doctoral degrees in applied linguistics, educational technology, and related fields who design their own courses and mentor every student.
