The Department of Education offers a post-baccalaureate program that prepares students for the California Multiple Subject Credential. This credential, approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing, authorizes service in self-contained classrooms, usually in an elementary school setting. Students will complete two student teaching experiences in addition to their professional coursework. One semester of student teaching is spent at the primary level and one semester in the intermediate grade level. NDNU students will be placed in two of the many public school districts with which the department has contracts, and will work in a culturally-diverse setting with students from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. School districts occasionally offer qualified Multiple Subject candidates the opportunity for a paid internship in lieu of student teaching.
See the NDNU General Catalog for program requirements and course descriptions.
Distinctions
- All Department of Education supervisors are selected because of previous experience as teachers and administrators in public and private schools.
- The Teacher Education Program allows NDNU students enrolled in its credential programs after Spring 1999 to articulate up to five specific credential courses toward certain master's degrees.
Admission Process
NDNU admits students throughout the year for fall, spring and summer semesters. Please review the NDNU General Catalog for complete admission requirements.
