Single Subject

The Single Subject Program prepares candidates to complete their Preliminary Single Subject Credential authorizing them to teach a specific subject such as English or Math, typically in public middle and high school classrooms in California.


Traditional Student Teaching Program 

The traditional student teaching program is a three-semester program; candidates complete students teaching in a local classroom with a master teacher in their third semester.


University Intern Program

The University Interns Program provides an opportunity for qualified candidates to work as teachers of record while completing their pre-service preparation.  Internships are an alternative to a traditional practicum and student teaching.
