72-76 S.H (no minor required)

 Note: All Winona State University teacher education programs are continuously updated to reflect new licensure requirements from the Minnesota Board of Teaching. Please contact your program advisor and refer to the Teacher Education Addendum for the latest information about program requirements whether you are (1) applying to a teacher education program, or (2) currently enrolled in a teacher education program.

Additionally, the Minnesota Board of Teaching requires that all Spanish Teaching candidates achieve an oral proficiency level of Intermediate High on the ACTFL proficiency scale. In order to achieve this level, most students need to study in a Spanish-speaking country for a minimum of one semester. Any Spanish Teaching student who has not achieved the Intermediate High level will not be allowed to student teach and will not be certified to teach by the state of Minnesota.

Note:


If a student takes SPAN 202 - Intermediate Spanish II  and gets retroactive credit for SPAN 201 - Intermediate Spanish I  (with a Pass grade), then SPAN 201 will count towards the major.

Note:


* In a Spanish-speaking region and pending advisor’s approval. Up to 9 S.H. may be awarded for completion of course requirements in Spanish. Course work completed in English will not count towards the Spanish Teaching major.
