Study Spanish Teaching Certification

Major in Modern Languages with an Emphasis in Spanish Teaching Certification

Inspire students to learn Spanish and broaden their cultural horizons with a Spanish Teaching Certification emphasis. A Spanish Teacher Certification emphasis seeks to develop a broader understanding of Hispanic cultures. In addition to improving speaking, listening, reading, and writing, our courses expose students to historical, literary, and social artifacts of Spanish-speaking cultures. Students also take courses in teaching methodologies, psychology, and professional education so that they learn how to teach language, literature, and writing in Spanish. Students spend their last semester teaching under the supervision of an experienced, licensed teacher.

Prior Language Experience

The Modern Languages Retro-Credits Program rewards students for significant prior language experiences, such as high school coursework or language spoken at home. Students who desire credit for language proficiency they acquired before coming to PSU should consult with the Modern Languages faculty.
