Supplemental Bilingual Certification Preparation Program

Southern Methodist University offers four courses (three credits each) that prepare teachers for the supplemental certification exam in Bilingual Education in Texas, which is required for teachers who work with students who do not speak English as their native language.

Since most of the students are in-service teachers, classes meet in the late afternoon and evenings during the spring, fall, and summer semesters. The required twelve hours of coursework may be applied to the Master of Bilingual Education program or to another master’s program with the approval of the graduate advisor.
