California Teaching Credential Programs

The Teacher Credential programs prepare multiple subject, single subject, and special education teacher candidates who demonstrate knowledge of theory and practice by making informed decisions leading to exemplary instruction for all learners.

Qualified candidates may combine teacher credential program units with further study to obtain a Master’s in Education degree.
