The IU Indianapolis Bachelor of Science in Education and World Languages degree combines an extensive foreign language study with a foundation in education theory and instructional methodologies. The early urban school field experiences help teacher candidates recognize how multilingualism and language development are influenced by social, cultural, and geopolitical contexts.
This degree is for students interested in completing a major in a foreign language and a teaching license in Spanish, or American Sign Languages. It aims to meet the requirements recommended for Indiana's secondary education teaching license.
Employment of interpreters and translators is projected to grow 20% from 2021 to 2031, much faster than the average for all occupations. About 9,200 openings for interpreters and translators are projected each year, on average, over the decade.

According to the IU Indianapolis First Destination Survey in 2021, the average starting salary reported for the School of Liberal Arts graduates was $44,2006, and the median salary was $38,000 .
