Brad D. Washington, Ed.D.

Assistant Professor, International and Multicultural Education, Coordinator for Online MA TESOL

Brad Washington coordinates the Online MA TESOL program for the School of Education, International and Multicultural Education Department, and previously taught in the USF Department of Rhetoric and Language, primarily serving non-native English speakers. He received his doctorate at USF in International and Multicultural Education with an emphasis in Second Language Acquisition in 2010.

In 2008, Dr. Washington developed an online graduate program at the University of California, Berkeley, dedicated to educating graduate students in Scientific, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields about the Horn of Africa. Through work with the International Area Studies centers and institutes at Berkeley, he was successful in obtaining national grants from the Department of Education to fund Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) scholarships for students pursuing the study of a second language abroad. This led to being tapped as a part of a national panel designed by the U.S. Department of Education to identify measurable rubrics to analyze interests in the study of foreign languages.
