Master of Education and Teaching Credential

The School of Education offers a one-year, full-time Master of Education and Teaching Credential program that prepares candidates to teach and lead in California's PK-12 public schools, beginning in summer quarter and ending in spring. Candidates earn a Multiple Subject Credential for elementary teaching or a Single Subject Credential to teach in secondary schools in the subjects of Agriculture, English, Mathematics, Science, or Social Science. Candidates can opt to include a Bilingual Authorization in Spanish or Mandarin. Through coursework paired with a year-long placement under an experienced mentor teacher, candidates develop subject-specific teaching expertise and culturally responsive practices for diverse and multilingual learners, and complete a yearlong project in their own classroom that culminates in the master's degree and recommendation to the State of California for the teaching credential.
