The Department of Multicultural Education is an academic department that prepares teachers for careers in bilingual, multicultural settings. Multicultural education recognizes and supports different perceptions of the universe as equally valid; enables teachers to clarify their values and perceive their attitudes and stereotypes about other groups of people; and develops respect for linguistic and cultural differences. Note: New students should call the department for an appointment for advisement.

LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY
It is a New Jersey State requirement that all candidates seeking ESL certification must be tested in oral and written English language proficiency. Candidates seeking Bilingual/Bicultural endorsement must be tested in oral and written English language proficiency, and in oral/written second language proficiency. Tests are given by the American Council of Teachers of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). The Department requires you to take all the tests within the first 12 credits of your coursework. The tests are arranged by the University Testing Center and can be scheduled by contacting the ACTFL language Proficiency Assessment Coordinator, Ms. Sasha Guios at (201) 200-3305.
