From the website: “The accreditation database is brought to you by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Postsecondary Education. Each of the postsecondary educational institutions and programs contained within the database is, or was, accredited by an accrediting agency or state approval agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education as a “reliable authority as to the quality of postsecondary education” within the meaning of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA). The database does not include a number of postsecondary educational institutions and programs that elect not to seek accreditation but nevertheless may provide a quality postsecondary education. “

From the website: “The Department offers a Master of Arts in ESL, and it administers a PhD program in Second Language Acquisition and an Advanced Graduate Certificate in Second Language Studies. A BA with an ESL specialization is available through the University’s Liberal Studies Program.

“The interests of the students in the Department are not limited to the teaching of English. Many are researchers in second/foreign language acquisition generally; many have specialities in languages other than English.

“The Department is probably the oldest and largest independent department in its field in the world. It was originally called the Department of ESL; in 2000, it was renamed the Department of Second Language Studies so as to reflect its broader focus. Its faculty and programs are held to be internationally outstanding. According to a study of publication rates in applied linguistics, over a period ten years, more articles were published by Department faculty in the major refereed journals in the field than by the faculty of the next three most published institutions combined.”
