Credential Programs
After earning your bachelors degree and passing required exams, you’ll need a teaching credential--a license that allows you to teach elementary, middle, or school, or special education students.
Our credential programs are generally two semesters and grounded in field experience.
Classroom-based practice in local public schools is supplemented with in-person coursework. You’ll not only apply what you learn but also experience diverse public school settings.
