Students may complete coursework leading to the 18-hour bilingual endorsement. This endorsement is in addition to the student’s initial area of endorsement (early childhood, elementary education, middle level education, etc.) and can be focused on the target language of the student’s choice. Proof of Language proficiency in your chosen language is required through the Seal of Biliteracy or successful completion of the Target Language Proficiency Assessment (TLP) through ISBE.

To meet these state requirements, students must fulfill 18 hours of coursework in categories designated by the State of Illinois as well as pass the State of Illinois Target Language Test. Students should see an advisor to plan this coursework.
