The English as a New Language endorsement consists of 20 credits and the Bilingual Education endorsement consists of 20-26 credits.  An additional nine upper-division credits in Spanish and at least one additional credit of practicum placement in a K-12 bilingual setting will meet the requirements for an additional endorsement in Bilingual Education.
