About the Program
Students in the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in either the Spanish/Spanish Cultural Studies degree program, or the French/Francophone Studies degree program can earn Pennsylvania Educator Instructional I teaching certification in World Language Education, grades PK-12. This certification provides the knowledge, experience, skills and training to teach World Languages in grades PK-12. Students interested in teaching certification in World Language Education, grades PK-12, should declare an Education minor and consult with their major disciplinary adviser/School of Education adviser (hopefully this will be the same person) as early as possible, preferably first year. All Arcadia undergraduates seeking certification must have declared Education as a minor and formally apply into the teacher certification preparation program during the spring semester of their sophomore year (see UG teacher certification entry and exit requirements). See the School of Education section of the catalog for Education minor requirements. Requirements for Certification in World Language PK-12
