The MAT in Spanish is designed for people who are seeking either initial or professional licensure to teach Spanish in elementary or secondary schools. We offer four licensure tracks: initial level elementary Spanish (P-6), initial level secondary Spanish (5-12), professional level elementary Spanish (P-6), and professional level secondary Spanish (5-12). Our program is an excellent way to create a base for a career as a Spanish teacher. Not only does it have a track that meets your initial licensure needs, but it also fulfills the educational requirements for professional licensure. In other words, it is a “two-for-one” program that sets you on the long-term path as a successful professional Spanish teacher.
