Our Multiple Subject preparation programs are uniquely structured* to provide the maximum amount of support for candidates. The credential programs are either four-, five-, or seven-quarter programs depending on the program selected. Students are admitted in teams of 25 to 35 students. All your classes are taken with the other members of your team. Your schedule of classes is established before you enter the program. This means that you do not need to worry about "getting into" your classes. You will, of course, have to register within the university's registration period for each quarter.

A member of the Department of Teacher Education faculty will serve as your Team Leader. The Team Leader will arrange your student teaching and mentor you as you move through the program.

Some of Multiple Subject teams begin coursework during the summer quarter (mid-June). Others begin during the winter quarter (January). We have "Day Teams" and "Evening Teams". Day Teams have mornings for field experience and afternoons for coursework. Evening teams have all day for field experience and evenings (after 4pm) for coursework. Some of our students have traditional student teaching experiences with a master teacher, others teach under an emergency permit or internship credential thereby having full responsibility for a classroom.

All of the programs are full-time and will require you to take between 16 and 22 units a quarter. Please remember, you will start with your team, take your courses with your team, and finish with your team. You may not move through our program at your own pace.

The Multiple Subject Credential with a BCLAD (Bilingual Crosscultural, Language, and Academic Development) Emphasis requires Spanish language exams, additional coursework and at least one field placement in a bilingual classroom. BCLAD requires an intermediate level of Spanish proficiency. The BCLAD emphasis authorizes teaching in a bilingual (Spanish/English) classroom.

The Preliminary Multiple Subject Credential
Upon satisfactory completion of our preparation program, you are eligible for a SB 2042 Preliminary teaching credential, which is valid for five years. One must hold a Preliminary credential before commencing work toward the professional Clear credential.

Professional Clear Multiple Subject Credential
Teachers holding a SB 2042 Preliminary have three options for progressing to a Professional Clear credential; these options depend on the certification of the school district in which you teach once you have earned your Preliminary credential.
