Welcome to the Department of
Elementary and Bilingual Education
The Department of Elementary & Bilingual Education offers three
types of programs: the Multiple Subject Credential Program (MSCP)
for people who wish to become accredited K-8 teachers, a Combined Credential/Master's Program, and Master's
Degree Programs for educators who wish to further their studies.
The Multiple Subject Credential Program
Our nationally accredited Multiple Subject Credential Program (MSCP) aims to prepare teachers to be leaders in the classroom and change
agents within the field of education. We offer multiple programs
to meet the needs of our varied student populations including
2 semester programs and 3 semester programs. We offer certificate options for our credential candidates.
Intern options are available also, as well as opportunities for a Bilingual Authorization Credential or Certificate (formerly BCLAD). Your first Step is to attend an overview. Please visit our website to view the current overview schedule as well as review program details and requirements.
The Combined Credential/Master's Program
CSUF is proud to offer an innovative combined program where candidates can complete the requirements to earn both their Multiple Subject Credential and a Masters of Science in Education with a concentration in Curriculum and Instruction.
The Masters Degree Programs
The MS in Education programs are designed to help
career classroom teachers upgrade their skills, become informed
about new ideas in elementary teaching, and prepare for leadership
roles within schools, school districts and other organizations.

and nationally for their contributions to a variety of education
disciplines. The faculty includes authors of numerous well-known
texts. They are committed to providing course work that is grounded
in current professional practice and that is connected to a strong
theoretical and empirical research base.
