Advanced Credential Programs
In addition, the School of Education offers the following advanced services and specialist credential programs:
Program Description
The programs and services of this department
are designed to prepare teachers, administrators and counselors for degrees
and specific credentials required in the State of California for service
in specialist and administrative positions, which require advanced preparation
and special competence. These programs include administration, bilingual
education, counseling, and early childhood education. They also provide
inservice education opportunities for persons currently filling such positions.
ADVANCED CREDENTIAL PROGRAMS
The following specialist and services credential programs, as authorized by the Teacher Preparation and Licensing Law of 1970, have been approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. Detailed current information describing the various credentials and programs may be obtained from the Credentials and Graduate Studies Office of the School of Education (664-2484) or from departmental advisors.
Specialist and Services Credential Programs
The Preliminary Administrative Services Credential Program authorizes service as a superintendent, associate superintendent, deputy superintendent, principal, assistant principal, supervisor, consultant, coordinator, or in any equivalent or intermediate level administrative position.
Requirements for the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential are: (1) possession of a valid teaching credential or a services credential with a specialization in pupil personnel services; (2) minimum of three years of successful full-time classroom teaching or three years of experience in the field of pupil personnel services; (3) passage of CBEST; (4) required course work and field work; and (5) passage of a culminating examination.
Effective May 1, 1994, employment in an administrative position is required prior to the issuance of the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential. (The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing will issue a Certificate of Eligibility for the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential to individuals who complete a college or university program but are not yet employed in an administrative position.) Further, employment in an administrative position is required before admittance to the Professional Administrative Services Credential Program.
Requirements for admission to and satisfactory progression through the Pupil Personnel Services Credential Program are compatible with those for the Master of Arts degree in Education (with a concentration in Counseling and Personnel Services) and the Master of Science degree in School Counseling, although they are not identical. Students should confer with their professional advisors for details.
The services credential with a specialization
in pupil personnel services authorizes the holder to perform, at K-12 levels,
the pupil personnel services approved by the Commission as designated on
the credential. Passage of CBEST is required for admission.

GRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAMS
The Advanced Educational Studies Department of CSUB offers programs of studies leading to the Master of Arts degree in Education in the following areas of concentration: Early Childhood Education; Counseling and Personnel Services; Educational Administration; and Bilingual/Bicultural Education. Additional concentrations will be added as approved and funded by the Office of the Chancellor. A Master of Science degree in School Counseling is also available.
Students working for a specialist or services
credential may wish to combine this program with work toward a Master of
Arts in Education degree, a Master of Science degree in School Counseling,
or a Master of Science degree in Counseling Psychology (with a concentration
in Marriage and Family Therapy). Those students interested in pursuing
such degrees should see the Graduate Studies Office in the School of Education
(EDUC 106) to obtain applications and advising materials. Students should
then consult with faculty advisors for further information and program
planning.
DOCTOR OF EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION
The Educational Administration Program
at CSUB has a cooperative agreement with the University of the Pacific,
whereby full-time practicing school administrators completing their Professional
Administrative Services Credential program at CSUB who also qualify for
admission to this Cooperative Doctoral Program may transfer most of their
Second Tier course work into this Cooperative Doctoral Program. Both CSUB
and the University of the Pacific are nationally accredited institutions
through NCATE. Most of the subsequent doctoral course work through the
University of the Pacific will be offered in Bakersfield, and scheduled
at a convenient time for full-time practicing administrators. For further
information, contact the Coordinator of the Educational Administration
Program at CSUB (664-3047).
MASTER OF ARTS IN EDUCATION
The Master of Arts in Education degree
will be conferred only upon those students who complete an authorized graduate
degree curriculum established by the School of Education to meet the standards
required by the school. The basic pattern of all programs consists of (1)
core studies (7 units), (2) professional concentration options (34 units),
and (3) a culminating project, thesis, practicum or comprehensive examination
(2-5 units). All programs shall be based upon an irreducible minimum of
forty-five (45) quarter units of graduate credit acceptable to both the
School of Education and the University. Degree programs shall be planned
cooperatively by the students and their advisors within the School of Education
and subject to approval by the coordinator of Graduate Studies of the school.
All courses and the culminating activity must be completed within a seven
(7) year period to qualify for the degree.
Program Concentrations
Bilingual/Bicultural Education -- The Master of Arts in Education with concentration in bilingual/bicultural education is designed to meet the needs of educators and professionals in related fields who seek to improve their skills in order to attain a higher level of professionalism in bilingual/cross-cultural education. The advanced degree is articulated with other programs available in the School of Education. A basic teaching credential is highly recommended to the awarding of the degree. Work toward the MA in Bilingual/Bicultural Education may be closely articulated with the CLAD Certificate as designed by the standards of the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC).
Early Childhood Education -- The concentration in early childhood education is available for those individuals who have undergraduate or post-baccalaureate preparation and intend to teach in preschool or kindergarten through grade three, work as administrators of early childhood programs and/or pursue a career as a researcher or college instructor in early childhood education.
The primary orientations of the concentration are toward improvement of teaching, design, and development of curricula, and the utilization of research in teaching. Appropriate concerns are methods, materials, plans, research data and procedures pertinent to early childhood education.
The specialization in early childhood education is obtainable in conjunction with the regular elementary credential, and specific provisions of the Master of Arts in Education degree.
We are not taking applications for the early childhood education program at this time.
Educational Administration -- The specialization in educational administration is available for post-baccalaureate students who have an interest in administering programs in elementary or secondary public schools.
Work toward the MA may be closely coordinated with requirements for the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential.
The Preliminary Administrative Services Credential is the first of two credentials that must be obtained to be permanently credentialed as an educational administrator in California’s elementary or secondary public schools. Individuals who have the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential may hold any administrative job in California for which they are otherwise qualified. The Preliminary Administrative Services Credential is in effect for five years from the date of issuance, which corresponds with the date of employment in an administrative position requiring the credential.
Counseling and Personnel Services
-- The Master of Arts degree with a concentration in Counseling and Personnel
Services is designed primarily as a degree for students working toward
the Pupil Personnel Services (PPS) Credential which authorizes one for
K-12 counseling. The MA program consists of 46 quarter units which provide
a balance between theory and practice in preparing individuals to function
effectively in various settings. This degree also can be tailored to fit
many purposes, although course selection is with the approval of the Counseling
faculty advisor and Counseling faculty, whose decision is final.

MASTER OF SCIENCE IN COUNSELING
Program Description
The Master of Science degree in Counseling is a 90 quarter unit degree designed to provide graduate preparation for counselors in the areas of School Counseling and Career Development Counseling. The major goal of the program is to prepare professional counselors who have the skills to practice in a wide variety of settings. All MS students take 49 units of core courses in Counseling. In addition, they complete 41 units within their area of specialization. Students must select one of the two options described below. (The Career Development Counseling option has been deferred until funding becomes available.)
School Counseling -- Students desiring to counsel in K-12 public or private educational settings should select a specialization in the area of school counseling. Most students in this option will also be working towards a PPS credential, although a master’s degree is not a requirement for the credential. This option meets the preparation standards of the American School Counselors Association (ASCA) which specify a two-year graduate program.
Career Development Counseling -- This option is designed for students who wish to pursue a counseling career in business, industry, higher education, vocational rehabilitation or government. This degree specialization offers graduate level training in career counseling theory and technique, career and employee assistance program development and resources, organizational behavior and management, and group and individual vocational assessment. This option will not meet the requirements of the Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS) for the California license in Marriage and Family Therapy or the State of California requirements for the Pupil Personnel Services Credential. (The Career Development option is deferred until funding becomes available.)
Admission Steps for all Counseling Programs (Master of Arts/Master of Science Degrees and Pupil Personnel Services Credential)
The Counseling Program admits new students once a quarter during the academic year. Application packets must be received in the Education Graduate Studies Office (EDUC 106) before each quarterly deadline. Incomplete files will not be considered for admission during that application cycle.
Only complete application packets will be accepted in the Education Graduate Studies Office. It is the responsibility of the applicant to make certain that the packet is complete and contains the following items:
Similarly, California Education Code requires PPS credential applicants to pass the California Basic Educational Skills Test (CBEST) with a cumulative score greater than or equal to 123 (register for exam with CSUB Testing Center, 664-3373) before a Pupil Personnel Services Credential can be issued by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC). School counseling students with teaching, specialist, or services credentials are required by the State of California to obtain a certificate of clearance (see Credential Analyst, EDUC 104, 664-3074) prior to beginning their Counseling Internships (EDCS 691) and applying to the CCTC for a PPS credential.
The Counseling Program faculty does not assume responsibility for making certain that students have satisfied the GWAR, CBEST and CCTC requirements described in the two paragraphs above. Thus, students themselves are responsible for completing these requirements to ensure timely placement into field work (Internship) and expedient processing of graduation and PPS credential applications.
Advancement Steps for All Counseling Programs -- The Counseling faculty functions as an admissions committee and approves the advancement of candidates through the Program. Once a student is admitted, there are three stages at which candidates are evaluated to determine eligibility to proceed in the Program.
Conditionally Classified Graduate Standing -- Students who are admitted to the program with deficiencies in any of the admission criteria are initially awarded Conditionally Classified Graduate Standing and are notified in writing at this and at each subsequent stage. If students are admitted to the program with Conditionally Classified Graduate Standing, they will be assigned an advisor by the Education Graduate Studies Office. The advisor will assist the student in preparing a Program of Studies and developing a plan which delineates the courses to be taken after the deficiencies are remedied.
Until a student is admitted (Graduate Classified Standing) to the Counseling Program, no EDCS (Counseling) or CPSY (Counseling Psychology) courses, with the exception of CPSY 500, Introduction to Counseling Psychology may be taken.
Classified Graduate Standing -- Students who have fully met the admission requirements are awarded Classified Graduate Standing upon admission to the Program. They will be eligible for consideration to Advancement to Candidacy upon satisfactory completion of CPSY 500 and an additional 15 units from their Programs of Studies. These courses may be numbered either at the 500 or 600 level, but may NOT include:
Ability to Work with People -- Throughout the program and prior to completion, the student must continually provide evidence of the ability to interact competently, successfully, and ethically with other people from a variety of backgrounds in a manner consistent with the role of a professional person in counseling. Such evidence may come from practicum and techniques courses, courses with an experiential focus, or from supervised experiences included in the Program. The applicant is advised that this quality is difficult to evaluate prior to admission; it may become apparent only as he or she progresses through the Program. The applicant who recognizes that this may be a significant difficulty is urged to consider other programs.
Experiential Learning Requirements -- The Counseling Program is sequential and based on principles of experiential learning. Consequently, students are frequently expected to participate from the counselee perspective in group and in individual sessions. Students provide each other the opportunity to experience interaction from both the counselor and counselee frame of reference throughout the Program. Enrollment in the Program implies student consent to engage in the individual and group experiential learning activities of the various courses.
Counseling Programs of Study -- The following programs of study outline the curriculum for the MA degree, the PPS credential, and the MS in School Counseling degree. An asterisk (*) indicates that a class must be taken in residence at CSUB. A pound (#) indicates program coordinator permission required.

School Counseling
Career Development Counseling -- This option has been deferred until funding becomes available.
Immigration Requirements for Licensure -- On August 27, 1996, Governor Pete Wilson issued Executive Order W-135-96 which requested that the CSU and other state agencies implement "as expeditiously as reasonably practicable" the provision of The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRAWORA) of 1996 (P.L. 104-193). The Act, also known as the Welfare Reform Act, included provisions to eliminate eligibility for federal and state public benefits for certain categories of lawful immigrants as well as benefits for all illegal immigrants.
Students who will require a professional or commercial license provided by a local, state, or federal government agency in order to engage in an occupation for which the CSU may be training them must meet the immigration requirements of the new Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act to achieve licensure.
Time Allotments for EDCS Courses
-- EDCS 645, 650, CPSY 641, CPSY 651, CPSY 661 and CPSY 671 are clinical
process classes. They are experiential in nature and require the use of
live clients and videotaping of sessions. Because of the additional time
needed to move people from room to room and change videotapes, the class
schedule indicates more time than mandated for clinical process classes.
