Bachelor of Science in Education with a Major in Early Childhood Education- Bilingual Option (EC-4)

Texas is a bilingual state. The educator that possesses the language skills necessary to communicate with bilingual students is in high demand. The Bilingual Option is designed for students who will teach in bilingual (Spanish) early childhood settings. Students wishing to pursue this degree option must demonstrate their proficiency in Spanish as a condition for admission to the College of Education.

Students must pass required state examinations, including the Texas Oral Proficiency Test (TOPT), in order to be awarded a Bilingual Generalist EC-4 Teaching Certificate. Candidates who do not meet the passing criteria for the TOPT, but meet all other course work and certification requirements, will be eligible for a Generalist EC-4 teaching certificate with English as a Second Language qualifications.
