Student testimonial:

For as long as I can remember, I have loved to tell stories. When I was twelve years old, I began a long journey to write a fantasy fiction manuscript called Unlocking Alhanna. Six years and 350 pages later, my novel was complete! …After several weeks of seeking God’s will in prayer, the Lord led my parents and I to CollegePlus! I stepped out in faith, and haven’t looked back since. CP! has changed my entire view of my future, and now I am well on my way to the English degree I need to become a successful author. - Kaitlyn R.

I am looking to get a TESOL degree. I see you have an English major but does that provide for me to get a license in teaching English?
