Teaching Certification in Spanish
Those who seek certification in teaching of Foreign Language receive

faculty in addition to courses offered in the Education program.
Advising, field placement, and preparation for proficiency examinations
are provided by Professor Conwell (Coordinator of Foreign Language
Certification Program). Students interested in earning a teaching
certificate should consult with her as early as possible to plan a
course of studies. (See course sequence under Education Department).
