What is a Spanish education major?

Spanish education is designed for students who want to teach Spanish in grades 7–12 and explore other education-focused career paths. Many regions have a shortage of qualified Spanish teachers, especially in rural and underserved areas, which can make this field in demand.

What you'll learn

As you pursue your Spanish education degree, you’ll explore the Spanish-speaking world — its languages, literature and diverse cultures — from Spain to Latin America and the Caribbean. You can customize your studies by focusing on language, literature or linguistics while building the cultural knowledge and communication skills you’ll need as a teacher.
