Spanish Education Impact

Spanish Education

The Spanish Education major at Fairmont State University is a teaching specialization for students who want to teach Spanish at the high school and middle school level (5-12).

Because the Spanish Education program is affiliated with the College of Liberal Arts and the School of Education, Health and Human Performance, Spanish Education majors have two advisors to help them successfully navigate the curriculum.
