Bilingual Authorization (Spanish)


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs by Department

This is an added bilingual authorization program in Spanish accredited by California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC). The added bilingual authorization can be added onto any California teaching credential (multiple subjects, single subjects, education specialist). At Sonoma State, there are two pathways to add the bilingual authorization:

(1) Undergraduate/Integrated: This pathway is suggested for students who are CALS/SPAN majors/minors as many of the required courses for the authorization overlap with major/minor requirements

(2) Post-baccalaureate/Accelerated: This pathway is recommended for undergraduate students who are not CALS/SPAN majors/minors or for post-baccalaureate credential students who are pursuing the authorization concurrently with a preliminary credential.

Regardless of pathway, all students take a series of courses in Spanish, Chicano & Latino Studies, and Education in order to meet the language, culture, and bilingual methods standards required by CTC.
