Modern Language and Culture (BA) - Spanish with Teacher Certification Track

Program Overview

Our curriculum is designed to prepare undergraduates for critical thinking and employment flexibility. The department's philosophy emphasizes dynamic faculty-student academic encounters both in- and out- of the classroom; along with individualized attention for our majors and minors.

Our faculty's expertise encompasses a broad range spanning Latin American literature, Hispanic women's writing, Spanish and Latin American culture, Hispanic linguistics, and the use of technology in the Humanities. Our students can take classes at the Elementary and Intermediate levels in Arabic, French, German, Japanese, and Latin.

All educator preparation programs are approved by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission. Visit the Certification page on the CSU Center for Quality Teaching and Learning (CQTL) website for detailed information about certification requirements and the certification process.

Career Opportunities

We are proud of our program's practical outcomes over the past six years:

All our graduates in the Teacher Certification track secured employment teaching HS Spanish in Georgia and elsewhere
All our graduates who applied to graduate school were admitted into regionally or nationally-recognized programs
