Overview

Program Mission

The mission of the bilingual/bicultural program is to prepare educators to advance students’ bilingualism in Spanish and English through the affirmation of their existing cognitive, cultural, and linguistic resources in academically rigorous bilingual education programs. The bilingual/bicultural program is committed to providing educators with innovative pedagogical practices, research opportunities, professional development, and networking and outreach. Professionals who graduate with a master’s degree will apply a research-based methodology based on critical and culturally relevant pedagogy that aims to transform the socio-political contexts in an effort to ensure equitable educational opportunities for emergent bilingual students.

Career Options

The Elementary Education - Bilingual - Bicultural program from Texas State University is designed for bilingual and biliterate (Spanish and English) individuals who want to teach emergent bilingual children in prekindergarten through sixth grade. Graduates can also use their degree as a pathway to doctoral programs and administrative, counseling, and higher education positions.
