Early Childhood Education Bilingual Option, B.A.E.

Make a difference in the lives of dual-language youth by majoring in Early Childhood Education with a bilingual endorsement to teach in English and an additional language. This credential allows students to teach in bilingual or dual-language classrooms or traditional settings. Courses, required practicum and student teaching are held at local school sites, where students gain firsthand experience connecting theory and practice through fieldwork. At the placement site, they immerse themselves in the language they have built proficiency in and gain teaching experience with diverse language learners.
