School of Education
Preparing Community Leaders for Current Trends
The goal of the School of Education is to prepare competent teachers, specialists, administrators, and community leaders through professional programs that reflect current trends.
Personalized attention and individualized counseling for students, field orientation of programs, and successful placement of practicum students and graduates have characterized the program since its inception. All credentials are credited by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC).
The School of Education offers students the possibility of enrolling concurrently in some master’s and credential programs. The School has several integrated programs designed to support each student as they prepare to be a professional educator or a community leader. Integrated programs articulate some coursework between the credential and the graduate degree, significantly reducing the time and financial resources required to earn a degree. Faculty representing diverse academic and practical expertise teach the courses. Courses are available during both Summer sessions and the Fall and Spring semesters. We offer courses on afternoons/evenings and weekends to accommodate work commitments.
