Special Features

Credential Program Teams: All credential candidates become part of designated teams, each consisting of approximately 35 members. The team stays together for the full credential program, providing support and identity.

Field-Centered Credential Programs

Much of the program is conducted in public school settings. Student teaching/paid teaching occurs for three quarters, thereby integrating credential classes with real-life teaching experiences. Student teachers will be assigned to teaching experiences with children/young adults of racial, ethnic, or cultural backgrounds different from themselves.

The College of Education Credentials Student Service Center

The College of Education Credentials Student Service Center (CSSC) is provided as a service to all students and faculty involved in the credential programs. The CSSC provides the evaluations of coursework upon which the faculty make decisions as to the admission of an applicant to a program, as well as the recommendation for a credential upon a candidate’s completion of a program.
