Our nationally accredited Multiple Subject Credential Program prepares teachers to be leaders in the classroom and change agents within the field of education. We offer 2 semester and 3 semester programs, Combined Credential/Masters program, certificate options for our credential candidates, Intern options, as well as opportunities for a Bilingual Authorization Credential or Certificate (formerly BCLAD).
Two-Semester Block
The program provides an opportunity for the candidate to gain essential knowledge about the nature of children, the elementary school curriculum, elementary school instructional materials, and effective teaching strategies from university classroom instruction. Concurrently, the student experiences the realities of the elementary school classroom through supervised fieldwork and student teaching. Read more about our Two-Semester Block.
Three-Semester Block
Our three-semester blocks require evening classes (taught from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. and/or from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m.). Some blocks may also hold Saturday classes. Read more about our Three-Semester Block.
