Master of Arts in World Language Education

Find new ways to develop students and their appreciation for world languages, knowledge of intercultural understandings and desire to become global citizens. With the World Language Education (MAMEd) degree, you’ll incorporate theory and research into hands-on, technology-rich, instructional practices that actualize language learning in real-life situations. You have the option to pursue an initial Illinois Teaching License (PEL) with a World Language Education (K-12) endorsement. If you are already a licensed teacher, you can add a World Language Education (K-12) endorsement to your PEL. Choose one of nine specific languages: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Russian and Spanish. This program can be completed in two years, and classes are offered on weekday evenings at DePaul’s Lincoln Park Campus, online or a hybrid of both.

DePaul offers two program options in World Language Education: World Language Education master's degree and World Language Education Endorsement. To be eligible to enroll in either of these programs, students must hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university.
