Dual Language Certification Program
“Quien sabe dos lenguas vale por dos”


If you’re already proficient in both English and Spanish, UTB/TSC has an exciting way to make you more marketable at the same time you’re making yourself more knowledgeable here at college. Beginning this academic year, you’ll have the opportunity to receive dual language certification through our new Dual Language Program.

For most students the program won’t involve any additional coursework. All the classes you need are part of the General Education Core curriculum—classes you’re already required to take.

This spring, UTB/TSC is offering a number of courses taught in Spanish to meet the needs of Dual Language Program students:
