The College of Education is pleased to announced a brand new, Dual Master’s Degree in Spanish Language and Culture for Educators. This partnership between JMU and the University of Salamanca (USAL), leads students to a Master's in Education with a concentration in Spanish Language and Culture for Educators degree from JMU and a Salamanca Master's for Teachers of Spanish as a Foreign Language Degree from USAL. This 18-month commitment requires students to spend one summer at JMU, one summer at USAL, and three additional academic semesters (fall, spring, fall) in online classes at the students’ home locations.

The program focuses on in-depth study of advanced pedagogical practices in teaching, best practices in curriculum development, and current research in the field of teaching and learning.  In addition, students’ content knowledge in the language and culture of Spain will be studied through course offerings supported from the expertise of faculty from USAL.  The program is delivered using both face-to-face and distance education models.

There 9 students in our first cohort. They all live in the US but have different nationalities, including students from Argentina, Honduras, Dominican Republic, and Brazil. They come from South Carolina, Colorado, New Jersey, Harrisonburg, and the Northern Virginia area.
