Secondary Spanish Teaching Licensure

The Department of Spanish and Portuguese collaborates with the School of Education to offer a Secondary Spanish Teaching Licensure, which is available to degree-seeking undergraduate students and post-BA candidates.  For degree-seeking undergraduates, the licensure requires the same coursework as the Spanish Language and Literature major together with several additional classes through the School of Education, plus a final semester in which you will student-teach at a local middle or high school.  Undergraduate candidates in this program also enroll for the through the School of Education.
