Teaching Emphasis for Spanish Major and Minor
Spanish Major and/or Minor—Teaching Emphasis with Secondary School Licensure
To receive secondary school licensure, students must complete the Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP). For further information, review the Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP) Level Outline.
Spanish Major and/or Minor—Teaching Emphasis without Secondary School Licensure (major 38 credits, minor 20 credits) (3.00 GPA)
It is possible to have a teaching emphasis within a major or minor in Spanish without receiving Secondary School teaching licensure. However, unless the student is an elementary education major, he or she would not be able to teach in Utah public schools (nor at many private ones). Graduating without licensure may allow employment at some community college and universities.
For more information, please contact the School of Teacher Education and Leadership in the Jones Education Building 330, or go online to teal.usu.edu and click on undergraduate programs, and then secondary programs.
