Pass the Gift of Language on to the Next Generation with the B.Ed. in Spanish Education P-12

Do you have a passion for learning languages? With Liberty’s Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) in Spanish Education, you can dig deep into your own studies of Spanish while learning how to pass your love of language to future students.

By earning a B.Ed. in Spanish Education, you are opening the door to careers outside of teaching as well. Twenty-one world governments list Spanish as their official language, making it extremely valuable in an increasingly connected global culture. Our teacher licensure track is designed to prepare you for Virginia-state licensure in teaching Spanish, but it can also prepare you for roles in business, tourism, and government that desperately need Spanish-speakers.

You can study and refine your Spanish, gain the skills and training you need to teach, and build toward your success in a global market. Our faculty of language experts can help you gain proficiency in Spanish while you develop skills that can prepare you for a career in education.

Upon successful completion of Liberty University’s Virginia state-approved Bachelor of Education program, you may apply for your teaching license in another state through reciprocity, which may or may not result in additional requirements based on your state’s Department of Education regulations.
