 Return to: Curricula by Department
The Multiple Subject Bilingual 2042 Credential (Elementary K-6 Education) is available to students interested in teaching in a bilingual Spanish, Arabic, Filipino, Japanese, or Mandarin elementary school classroom. This credential authorizes the holder to teach in any self-contained bilingual or regular classroom in which one teacher is responsible for all the subjects commonly taught in the elementary schools. Because courses on methods of teaching subject areas are taught in Spanish, Arabic, Filipino, Japanese, or Mandarin, as well as English, candidates must meet the respective language of emphasis proficiency requirements as outlined below.
Candidates who will pursue this credential need to specify “Multiple Subject Credential - Bilingual” in the application for graduate admission to SDSU (Code: 00200). Students applying for admission should electronically submit the university application available at http://www.calstate.edu/apply along with the application fee.
