La educación sin fronteras: Education Without Borders
Bilingual educators are in high demand across Texas. As our state continues to grow, so does our need for educators who can meet students' needs. You can help fill this gap by earning a minor in Bilingual Education. While here, you'll study the foundations of bilingual education and learn how to create, deliver and assess content from a holistic bilingual paradigm. Students majoring in Curriculum and Instruction may earn this minor as part of their graduate program. Spanish proficiency is not required, but we encourage you to study languages outside of English. Students who are bilingual in Spanish and English will have the opportunity to employ both of their languages throughout the program.
