The Bilingual Education Authorization is committed to preparing strong Spanish-bilingual teachers as advocates for Bilingual Education.
Teachers with Bilingual Authorization are in high demand for teaching positions in the Bay Area and throughout California. The Bilingual Authorization in Spanish is open to candidates who satisfy language proficiency requirements. Students must demonstrate satisfactory language proficiency competence prior to enrolling in Bilingual Authorization courses. The Bilingual Authorization can be combined with any of our Teacher Education programs as well as our Special Education Master's program.
Bilingual Authorization candidates are required to pass the USF Bilingual Authorization exam and take two additional courses alongside their credential program.
