ANNOUNCING A NEW

Master of Arts in World Languages

with Secondary Teaching Licensure

Department of Languages & Literature

Department of Linguistics

College of Education

UNIVERSITY OF UTAH

The Degree
       The Master of Arts with an Emphasis in World Languages combines  
a graduate master’s degree with licensure to teach in the public  
schools. Students with the requisite background will be able to teach  
one or two foreign languages at the secondary level, or a foreign  
language and another high school subject such as History, Geography,  
or Math. The program actively seeks to license teachers for the  
critical languages language (Arabic, Chinese, Hindi/Urdu, Japanese,  
Korean, Persian/Farsi, and Russian). Students in the program, and in  
particular those seeking certification in a critical language, will be  
strongly encouraged to participate in an intensive language study  
abroad program.

Purpose
       The purpose of the MA program is two-fold: first, to offer a  
graduate degree in foreign language teaching that equips candidates  
with excellent foreign language and pedagogy skills, and with solid  
subject matter knowledge; and second, to produce public school  
teachers who are able to teach one or two foreign languages, and in  
particular critical languages, or a foreign language and a high school  
subject.

Entry Requirements
The MA with an Emphasis in World Languages with Secondary Teaching  
Licensure is designed for students who have:
• a BA in a foreign language: Classics, Chinese, French, German,  
Japanese, Russian, or Spanish
• a BA in area studies: Asian, International, Latin American, Middle  
Eastern
• a BA in a subject taught in Utah secondary schools, and proficiency  
in a foreign language
• a BA in ESL/TESOL, and proficiency in a foreign language
• an MA in Languages & Literature or Linguistics, and are interested  
in teaching in the public schools

For further information, please contact the Department of Languages &
