Program Overview

Combine your love for Spanish and teaching with a bachelor's degree in Spanish education from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. Graduates of the program are certified to teach Spanish to students in PK through grade 12.

Educate the Next Generation of Spanish Speakers

Rooted in experiential learning and travel, our Spanish teaching major provides countless opportunities for you to grow as a teacher and as a person. Participate in a cultural immersion program, join a student organization, or enroll in a community-based course. Rigorous curriculum — paired with a semester of student-teaching — will introduce you to best practices and help you to discover your preferred teaching style.

All Spanish teaching majors are required to take what they've learned and put it into practice through study abroad or an alternative language immersion experience. Popular study abroad sites include Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Chile, Spain, Uruguay, and Mexico. Students can also choose to participate in the National Student Exchange Program. This unique opportunity allows Blugolds to study for a semester at another university while still paying UWEC tuition.

You'll graduate from UW-Eau Claire with so much more than just a degree. You'll have the skills, experience, and credentials needed to inspire, motivate and educate our next generation.

It is also possible to pursue a double major in teaching - Spanish (K-12) and elementary – middle education (4K-9) through a series of approved substitutions. This dual certification offers flexibility to work in areas like K-12 foreign language programs, 4K-9 one-way immersion, dual-language/two-way immersion and foreign language elementary programs.
