A Spanish teaching degree sets a student on the path to become a Spanish and English as a second language (ESL) teacher in Kentucky at the K-12 level. A Spanish teaching degree is like a double major. Students take almost all the same courses as a Spanish major, but with the addition of education courses to prepare for work in Kentucky school districts. EKU Spanish Teaching majors are in high demand by school districts because they graduate with more than a year of experience collaborating with teachers at Model Laboratory, Cardinal Valley Immersion Program, and other institutions as part of the Spanish curriculum.
The employment of interpreters and translators is projected to grow 4 percent from 2022 to 2032, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Around 7,200 openings are estimated each year, on average, over the decade.
An average of around 42,200 openings are estimated each year for middle school teachers and about 67,100 openings each year for high school teachers.
