Elementary Bilingual Education
Elementary bilingual educators promote opportunities for all through mentorship and instruction.
They change lives by easing the transition for English-language learners and create safe academic environments for all students.
As an elementary bilingual education major at Kean, you engage in hands-on learning through field experiences in local public schools and co-teaching opportunities as you prepare for New Jersey teacher certification.
Once you graduate, you will continue the University’s longstanding tradition of excellence as you teach and lead in diverse and inclusive school environments, making a difference in the lives of young people and communities across the country.

A degree in elementary bilingual education promotes opportunities for all.

What stands out to me about the bilingual education program is the clarity of what is required in order to graduate. The faculty guided me every step of the way, and the dedication my advisor provided was nothing short of astonishing. My professors also made a tremendous impact on my amazing college experience and prepared me to become the teacher I am today."
