The Northern Marianas College dispelled speculations of students yesterday about the Master of Education\u2013Concentration in International Teaching program and rumors about the program\u2019s possible discontinuation.<\/p>\n
Les Ogumoro-Uludong, Framingham State University site coordinator, stated that the program will only be discontinued if the minimum number of required students is not met.<\/p>\n
The minimum number of students that are required in order to form a cohort\u2014which is a graduating class\u2014is 23 and, according to Ogumoro-Uludong there were less than 10 students who had signed up for the spring program, which resulted in the program being postponed until fall.<\/p>\n
FSU still has spots for the fall program.<\/p>\n
The program is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. NMC had been hosting the program since 2001, with over 300 CNMI graduates so far.<\/p>\n
Last December 2019, there were 24 graduates from Cohort 12; this April, there will be 25 graduates from Cohort 13.<\/p>\n

An applicant with a foreign degree must submit an official transcript(s) that will be viewed for general evaluation, and have a preferred quality point average of 2.7 on a 4.0 scale.<\/p>\n
