Teaching Spanish B.A.A.World Languages & Cultures
Education
College of Education and Human Service Professions
The bachelors of applied arts (B.A.A.) degree in teaching Spanish prepares students to teach Spanish (Grades K-12). The major aligns to the Minnesota Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board (PELSB) standards for Spanish in grades K-12 in Minnesota. The B.A.A. in teaching Spanish is offered through the Department of Education, in conjunction with the Department of World Languages and Cultures. This major prepares students to teach Spanish from kindergarten through grade twelve.
Students pursuing both the BA in Spanish Studies and BAA in Teaching Spanish degrees must satisfactorily complete 12 non-overlapping upper division credits of Spanish electives beyond the requirements for both degrees.
Students should utilize a What-if APAS Report as the official tool to see all requirements for degree completion. Due to the complexity of the admission to the blocks process, students are strongly encouraged to meet with their assigned academic advisor on a regular basis to establish a plan for program completion.
