Students planning to become certified to teach English should consult The Coker College Teacher Education Bulletin and the chair of the Education Department as soon as possible after enrolling. The Foreign Language Major Coker offers majors and minors in Spanish and French. Foreign language majors must study abroad for a semester or a summer in a country where the language is spoken. While overseas, they must complete at least 12 hours of their major in a program approved by the college. This may include study at Coker's villa in Trujillo, Spain, or at the University of the Yucat n in Mexico for which a scholarship is awarded annually.
Financial aid is available to make study abroad affordable for all majors.
One of the great advantages of studying a foreign language at Coker lies in close daily contact between students and faculty. In addition to French and Spanish, Coker offers introductory courses in German, Italian, and Chinese.
