Abstract: Professional graduate program curricula are consistently evaluated for their efficacy as they relate students' needs and achievement. Particularly, teachers in the TESOL field are challenged to become effective in their profession by adapting and developing learning materials and designing successful curriculum that imparts all relevant concepts and knowledge that contributes to this field. Based on the aforementioned reasons, it is imperative to continually evaluate and reexamine the effectiveness of TESOL master's programs, as well as to investigate what information and skills this program promotes to prepare graduate students for their current and future careers. Two appendixes are included: (1) Demographics; and (2) Interview Questions.
