About
This is an online program.
IU Online's Graduate Certificate in Spanish offers advanced-level instruction in the Spanish language as well as Hispanic culture, literature, and linguistics. This program may be of special interest to K–12 Spanish teachers, or anyone looking to improve their mastery of the language.
As a student in this program, you enhance your language proficiency and teaching techniques, study current research on effective pedagogical strategies and foreign language instruction, and enhance your intercultural competence in order to promote student engagement with the Hispanic world.
The Graduate Certificate in Spanish is ideal for those who want to teach dual-credit courses and who need to meet Higher Learning Commission dual-credit qualification standards. These standards require teachers wanting to teach dual-credit courses to hold either a master's degree in their area of instruction or a master's degree in another discipline (such as education) plus at least 18 credit hours of discipline-specific graduate coursework.
If you hold a master's degree in another discipline, you can meet HLC standards by completing the 18-credit-hour Graduate Certificate in Spanish.
