Hi everyone,

Would it make any difference if I got an MA in TESOL vs an MS in TESOL? Obviously its the same thing but I wanted to know if they have a preference in KSA?


Thanks!

It doesn't really matter, it depends on the requirements of the place you are applying to. However as the Kingdom is perennially short of language teachers, they take on pretty well anybody. I even heard of one recruiting company that faked some of the qualifications of the candidates.

If you do plan to go on for a doctoral degree many programs allow for units from you MA to be used toward the completion of a doctoral degree. If that is something you are considering doing then maybe pick the one that will satisfy the most units toward that future objective. Otherwise I don't see the difference.
