Spanish Post-Baccalaureate Teacher Certification

Turn your passion for Spanish into a meaningful teaching career!

You’ve already earned your bachelor’s degree, now it’s time to put it to work. Montclair’s Post-Baccalaureate Teacher Certification in Spanish prepares you to teach Spanish to students from preschool through 12th grade, equipping you with the skills and credentials to make a real difference for language learners.

Through a focused, 36-credit program, you’ll explore language pedagogy and cultural fluency, and gain hands-on experience in real New Jersey classrooms. Upon completion, students in the program are recommended to the New Jersey Department of Education for a teaching certificate. You’ll also be recommended for initial teacher certification by Montclair, giving you a direct path to the front of the classroom without needing a master’s degree.

As a certified Spanish teacher, you’ll expand access to language learning, support diverse student populations, and help shape a more inclusive educational future.

You’ll benefit from Montclair’s strong school partnerships, its nationally accredited and highly-regarded Teacher Education Program (CAEP), and a curriculum that blends theory with practical application. Montclair State University’s Teacher Education Program has been consistently recognized both nationally and regionally for its unique features, including its structure, partnerships, and curricular emphases. The program is considered a model for other colleges and universities and has continuously been accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) since 1954.
