If you're not in Indiana but are interested in state licensing, our coursework may be approved for your state as well. Just contact us at its@huntington.edu, and we'll let you know! 

As a faith-based institution, Huntington University seeks to meet you where you are in your spiritual journey and explore how faith intersects with your education and career. Our students come from a variety of faith backgrounds. And while we're clear about our commitment to Christ, Scholarship, and Service, we welcome everyone to the table to gain a better understanding of the values we all bring so that we can learn and teach better together. 

Traditional undergraduate classes are offered on our main Huntington campus in a face-to-face format. Undergraduate students from any major are welcome to add the TESOL certificate or minor to their degree.
