The Bilingual/Bicultural Education undergraduate program at Carroll University is an emphasis that can be added to an Elementary Education major or a Secondary Education major. Students who successfully complete the requirements for this emphasis and are endorsed for an initial teaching license through their grades K-9 (Elementary) or grades 4-12 (Secondary) program will be endorsed for the Bilingual/Bicultural Education #023 as a supplemental license through the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.
The BBE program is 20 credits in EDU coursework and 7 credits in EDU clinical experiences. Of these 27 credits, candidates already complete 6 credits of this coursework and 7 credits of clinical experiences in their Elementary or Secondary Education major. Therefore, to complete the BBE program and be eligible for this supplemental license through the WI-DPI, students complete an additional 14 credits of EDU coursework in addition to their Education major. Candidates who wish to obtain a BBE supplemental license must also complete the equivalent of 4 semesters of Spanish coursework, an approved Spanish-language CCD Course in the Pioneer Core, and a Spanish-language Cross-cultural Experience.
The Bilingual/Bicultural Education (BBE) certification allows teachers to teach their content in dual language or bilingual classrooms, which is a high need area across the state of Wisconsin.
