Certification

The completion of a Bachelor's degree in FLE at USF will result in your meeting the minimum certification requirements of the State of Florida for teaching foreign languages in K-12 public schools.  This certification is valid in more than 30 U.S. states, thanks to a reciprocity agreement with the Department of Education of other states. 

ESOL Endorsement

Completing the Bachelor's degree in FLE will also result in your obtaining the ESOL endorsement required by the Florida Department of Education.  Some courses, such as the ESOL endorsement courses, are offered both online and on campus.  Most of the BA in FL education courses are, however, offered on the Tampa campus.
