If you think you may be interested in pursuing a career in education, and specifically in teaching English as a foreign language around the globe or teaching Italian in the US. Italian Studies and GSE have a deal for you! Read on.
The study of foreign languages at the k-12 level is growing across the country and there is a global need for teachers of English as second language. Undergraduate students in the Italian program are eligible to apply for an accelerated program of master's degree study by seeking admission to the Graduate School of Education as submatriculants in their junior or senior year. A submatriculant takes graduate education courses for graduate credit while continuing to register in the undergraduate college. The requirements for a Major in Italian do not change with submatriculation in the Graduate School of Education. Find all information at http://www.gse.upenn.edu/academics/submatriculation
