German K-12 Teaching Option

The German Teaching major is designed for students who wish to become licensed to teach German in grades K-12. Upon completion of the degree, students are eligible for licensure in the state of Montana. Secondary education students are encouraged to pursue a teaching minor in an additional content area and should contact an advisor for details. Obtaining a teaching minor may require more than eight semesters. Prior to approval for student teaching placement, students will be required to achieve Intermediate High on the ACTFL proficiency scale as determined through an official Oral Proficiency Interview administered by Language Testing International.
