Prepare to teach Spanish to learners in grades 6-12. Coursework paired with internships and residencies will allow you to obtain teacher certification after graduation and start a career in a high-demand specialty in education.
Students in the Bachelor of Arts in Education program in secondary education with a concentration in Spanish are prepared to educate learners in grades 6-12. Aligned with strong content knowledge of the Spanish language, the program also focuses on integrating technology into teaching and provides the professional experience needed to develop the teaching skills that lead to success in the classroom.
Extensive professional experiences are built into the program to prepare students to enter the teaching profession after graduation. Students complete internships before a full-time teaching residency. Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning Innovation has developed a distinctive approach to teacher preparation, which includes student participation in internships and residencies while they receive guidance and support from faculty members and highly qualified certified teachers. Professional experiences are designed to prepare graduates to work with mutually supportive colleagues to address the academic and social-emotional needs of learners.
Students who complete the program earn a bachelor's degree in their content area and receive an institutional recommendation from ASU that the Arizona Department of Education recognizes for the state's Secondary Education, 6-12 teacher certification. To be eligible for secondary certification in Arizona, students must also earn a passing score on the professional knowledge exam offered through the National Evaluation Series or Arizona Educator Proficiency Assessments.

Studying abroad is vital when learning the Spanish language and the cultures of Spanish-speaking countries. Future teachers of Spanish, the third most spoken language in the world, can add value to their degree through immersion programs across the Spanish-speaking world in Europe and Latin America. Students explore history and culture in English while acquiring Spanish language skills.
Graduates are highly sought-after teachers in public, charter and private education institutions. The demand for well-prepared secondary teachers is strong. Job opportunities in a fast-growing state such as Arizona are numerous.
ASU programs that may lead to professional licensure or certification are intended to prepare students for potential licensure or certification in Arizona. Completion of an ASU program may not meet educational requirements for licensure or certification in another state. For more information, students should visit the ASU professional licensure webpage.

Program term definitions
Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master's during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor.
Joint programs, or jointly conferred degrees, are offered by more than one college and provide opportunities for students to take advantage of the academic strengths of two academic units. Upon graduation, students are awarded one degree and one diploma conferred by two colleges.
