Undergraduate Teacher Education Program
Spanish Licensure

Candidates pursuing a Spanish major will develop proficiency in listening, speaking, reading and writing the language, as well as an appreciation for the history, geography, literature and culture of the region. Teacher licensure is available in Spanish for those who wish to teach through the high school level. Study abroad courses are offered during the summer and the academic year, and are arranged directly with Greensboro College, through other colleges or through a consortium of colleges and universities of which Greensboro College is a member. Candidates have studied in Australia, France, Spain, Mexico and Germany, for example. The bilingual abilities and appreciation for cultural diversity make foreign language graduates employable. Language majors find jobs in teaching, business and government, or pursue graduate degrees.

The Spanish licensure program is intended to be a comprehensive approach to developing a highly competent, responsive Spanish teacher for K-12. Guided by a philosophy emphasizing an appreciation for diversity, a life-long commitment to learning, and the development of personal and professional integrity, the overall goal of this specialty area is to provide opportunities for prospective Spanish teachers to acquire and demonstrate the dispositions, skills, and competencies necessary for effective service.

Candidates desiring North Carolina licensure should be aware that graduation with licensure may require more than the minimum 124 semester hours.
