Criteria for Becoming a Foreign Language Teacher:
In order to teach one of the foreign languages (either German or Spanish) at the middle and high school levels, the teacher candidate must have preparation of at least a minor, but it is recommended that the preparation approaches that of a major. Teacher candidates must provide evidence of meeting the intermediate-high proficiency level. Please note that these are guidelines only and that a transcript review and advising are needed to assure that you will meet the requirements.
