The school that I attended (University of Akron) had a great program. Many universities do. As far as one that is recognized internationally, I think that you may have to inquire a bit. Sometimes you just need to take 1 or 2 extra courses that can make your degree for international recognition. Speak with an advisor. Each country may differ though in their requirements.

If all you want is a certificate, do the CELTA. The name CELTA is widely recognized in Europe, and the certificate that you get upon completion clearly states TESOL so you can use it in Asian markets as well. It’s a basic four-week, full-time program with six hours of supervised teaching practice. Use the link below to find a center near you.
By the way, the only way to get a decent job in TEFL is to also have a Bachelor’s degree. A degree is needed to get a work visa in almost every country.
