Elementary Education K-6, BA (Spanish Endorsement, Pre-K-Adult)

The Department of Education cooperates with the Department of Humanities in meeting its mission to prepare candidates for a Bachelors of Arts degree in Education with Spanish endorsement for grades PreK-Adult. The Spanish endorsement must be combined with a B.A. in Elementary Education program or any another B.A. in Education degree program. Field experiences and student teaching in an approved K-6 classroom, and in an approved classroom for Spanish endorsement are required.

All students who have taken Spanish in high school should take a placement test to determine at what level they begin. Students who test out of beginning courses may receive credit for these courses by asking their instructor to complete Credit by Exam paperwork, and paying a fee.
