Throughout this program, you'll explore how different disciplines approach inquiry, examine multiple styles of learning, and incorporate cultural diversity into your teaching. The knowledge and skills you'll pick up will enable you to become an effective educator and work with diverse learners across a variety of settings. UTSA is approved by the State Board for Educator Certification to recommend students for teaching certification in various baccalaureate degree areas. The Department of Bicultural-Bilingual Studies offers a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in Mexican American Studies as well as Minors in Bicultural Studies and English as a Second Language. The B.A. in Mexican American Studies prepares students to enter graduate school or pursue a career as an educator, researcher, community leader, or community advocate. The Department also offers courses that may be used to fulfill the Core Curriculum requirements or that may be taken as support courses for programs within the University or as electives. Courses in bicultural-bilingual studies offer students the opportunity to prepare for bilingual and/or second language teaching and give insights into bilingual and multicultural functions in society. Courses in teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) offer students the opportunity to learn appropriate methods and strategies for teaching at the elementary, secondary, and adult levels. Courses are designed for students who plan to teach second languages, but are also designed for those who intend to teach in other areas or to enter fields that rely heavily on an understanding of language learning and bilingualism. In addition, the Department offers advanced courses in English for international students that are appropriate for both graduate and undergraduate students.
