Program Description/Overview
This program is for those wishing to prepare to serve as elementary school educators in general education. The program prepares you to become a teacher in any self-contained Pre-K/T-K-8 classroom within California, offering instruction in multiple subjects as you provide a well-rounded and comprehensive education. Self-contained classrooms are those typically found in elementary and pre-K/T-K schools. The Early Completion Option (ECO) is an accelerated version of the Standard Intern Track, designed for those with prior teaching experience. Candidates receive course waivers based upon additional state-required testing results.
Application for California Teaching or Administrative Services credentials or authorizations are made through the university’s Credential Analyst. Candidates who concurrently enroll in both the Master of Arts in Education (MAE) Program and the Credentialing Program are required to meet admissions standards and requirements for both tracks. All credential programs receive English Learner authorization embedded within the credential program.
