Notes
Listed are the requirements for completion of degree. Electives may be taken. Consult with advisor for courses that are highly recommended.
All students must complete a Student Teaching or Practicum component (A&HB 4720 or 4323). In-services students (those who have their own classrooms) must register for A&HB 4323 and be teaching in a bilingual K-6 program where the native language is a medium for instruction. If you are not currently in a bilingual classroom, you must make arrangements with your school principal to have one during the semester you are taking the Practicum. You may be required to provide the program with a letter of support from your school principal, along with a plan for your supervised teaching experience.
