Lewis University's Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Language program emphasizes building language skills (speaking, reading, and writing), cultural understanding, and analytical abilities. The curriculum includes classroom placements where students work directly with diverse learners across different cultural backgrounds and educational approaches. Graduates receive a Spanish major degree while meeting requirements for Pre-K through 12 Spanish teaching certification.
This Foreign Language Education program holds full accreditation from both the State Educator Preparation and Licensure Board and the Illinois State Board of Education.
The program strongly recommends study abroad opportunities, allowing future educators to immerse themselves in the cultures they'll later teach about. Through Lewis University's global Lasallian network, studying overseas becomes financially accessible, with costs comparable to a semester living on campus.
