Program Overview

The Master’s degree in Bilingual Education is an innovative and unique program with several concentrations. The program is designed to develop master teachers and advocates with a thorough understanding of effective enrichment of bilingual education and practices that not only meet the educational needs of Spanish speakers but also provide bilingual/biliterate/bicultural enrichment opportunities for all children.

The degree program prepares "dual experts" in various areas to promote and support the enrichment of bilingual education. Students completing the degree will be able to provide expert instruction, advise administrators, participate in program development, and lead professional development for schools and districts. Students will have the potential to become agents of change by advocating for bilingual learners and equitably implementing education policy for bilinguals and their communities. This program is 100% online.
