The Credentials

Students in California’s public schools reflect a wide variety of ethnic, linguistic, and cultural backgrounds. The School of Teacher Education is committed to preparing teachers to ensure the academic success of all students. Candidates from underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.

The Multiple Subject Credential qualifies graduates to teach in any K-12 self-contained classroom (a classroom where one teacher is responsible for teaching in all subject fields). For most, this means an elementary or middle school setting but does not preclude an alternative school or school-within-a-school (e.g., pregnant teen) setting. The credential program includes a study of educational psychology plus a variety of methods courses in subjects commonly taught in elementary schools.

A variety of program options are available to credential candidates. Daytime commitments are required for student teaching placements. Examinations and/or coursework prerequisite to program admission, if not completed within the undergraduate degree program, may extend the total time commitment for credential issuance.

The Single Subject Credential qualifies graduates to teach in grades K-12 in a specific subject area. Most candidates prepare to teach in grades 7-12 (usually junior or senior high school) or in a middle school setting (usually grades 6-8). Students in the program follow a sequence of courses which normally takes two semesters to complete. The first semester of the program emphasizes curriculum theory and development, educational research, and foundations of education and includes a part-time student teaching experience. The second semester focuses on a fulltime student teaching experience and accompanying seminar. The program requires a daytime commitment. A three semester program is also available. This program provides more flexibility for students who have additional responsibilities. Coursework in this program is offered in the late afternoon and evenings. Examinations and/or coursework prerequisite to program admission, if not completed within the undergraduate degree program, may extend the total time commitment for credential issuance.
