Overview

Students gain historical, political, linguistic and pedagogical foundations to deliver educational experiences to bilingual and emergent bilingual students. Texas State University is a Hispanic-Serving Institution located in the heart of Texas, which is rich in bilingual communities. The campus is situated in close proximity to public schools with diverse, bilingual education programs where students can get hands-on experiences teaching and learning in bilingual classrooms. Certified teachers who enter the graduate elementary education - bilingual/bicultural degree programs can earn either a master of education (M.Ed.) or a master of arts (M.A.) in elementary education - bilingual/bicultural. The 30-credit-hour M.A. degree program requires students to complete course work in bilingual/bicultural elementary education, a minor and a written thesis. The 36-credit-hour M.Ed. degree program requires course work in elementary education and an approved minor. This degree program requires a comprehensive exit exam. 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 research-based methodology based on critical and culturally relevant pedagogy that aims to transform the sociopolitical contexts of schooling in an effort to ensure equitable educational opportunities for emergent bilingual students. The master's program in elementary education - bilingual/bicultural 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.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
