Single Subject Teacher Credential Program

Introduction

The Single Subject Teacher Credential Program is a full-time, three-quarter program for people seeking careers as secondary teachers in California, typically grades 7 through 12.

The program is designed to provide a strong grounding in current research and best practices in education. The program prepares candidates to be reflective problem solvers who engage, motivate and meet the needs of all students. We are especially proud of our strength in developing the capacity to understand academic literacy and to teach literacy skills in all disciplines.
