The University offers a number of programs that prepare students to become credentialed teachers. These are called subject matter preparation programs. Below you can find a listing of the generic requirements. Each of the subject matter preparation programs is part of a larger degree program. If you are interested in pursuing a particular program, you may contact the responsible department. The office locations and telephone numbers are listed in the sections below.
 

MULTIPLE SUBJECT PREPARATION PROGRAMS
 

SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
 

Liberal Studies

Program Description

In addition to degrees in individual disciplines, the University offers a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies, designed to provide students with a broad liberal arts experience. Students take courses in virtually all areas of the liberal arts and develop in-depth understanding of a single discipline or area. The major has also been designed to provide the educational experience best suited for the prospective elementary teacher.

The Liberal Studies program has been approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing as a program waiving the subject matter examination required for licensing for multiple subjects instruction in the public schools. To qualify for the waiver, students must complete the program described below. Students interested in this program should contact the Program Chair/Associate Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences (Dorothy Donahoe Hall D100, (661) 664-3337).

Requirements for the Major

Core

Students wishing to complete the approved multiple subjects waiver major must complete the requirements within each of the following AREAS. These requirements can be satisfied with CSUB courses, transfer courses or, as appropriate, waiver examinations. A course used to satisfy one requirement cannot be used to satisfy a second requirement in a different area or be counted as part of the Upper Division Concentration.

The credential-track major in Liberal Studies, approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC), satisfies all of the following University requirements:

• General Education
• Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement
• Women/Ethnic Studies
• American Institutions
• Arts and Sciences courses for CLAD and BCLAD
• Multiple Subjects Credential Program prerequisites

To give students the Arts and Sciences foundation for a multiple subjects credential program, the credential-track major in Liberal Studies includes appropriate courses in culture, minority culture, foreign language and cross-cultural and bilingual education. Where CLAD and BCLAD requirements differ, courses for BCLAD are listed separately.

Bilingual Emphasis -- Requirements for a bilingual emphasis have been incorporated into the major as BCLAD (Bilingual, Cross-Cultural, Language and Academic Development).

SCHOOL OF BUSINESS AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

The CSUB degree in Business Administration has been certified by the California Commission for Teacher Credentials as satisfying subject matter examination waiver requirements for the State of California Single Subject Credential in Business Education. This means that the Examination Waiver for Business Education has been approved for a CSUB graduate with an approved major in Business Administration. In addition, the student must be admitted to and must complete the Single Subject Credential program. Because the waiver program differs in some details from the basic program for the major, it is essential that credential candidates consult with the evaluator in the School of Education (Education Building 124, (661) 664-2219) to assure that their programs will be approved.
 

SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
 

Teacher Education

Students may begin the Single Subject program in the Fall or Spring. This program may be expanded as needed. Additional information may be obtained from the School of Education (Education Building 113, (661) 664-3134).

All admissions requirements, including EDSE 241, must be completed before or concurrently with Phase I classes. Students may not proceed to Phase II until they have completed all Phase I courses with a minimum 3.0 GPA and completed subject matter.

Admission Requirements

1. Register for or take CBEST for Phase I admission.
2. Have at least a 2.5 GPA.
3. EDSE 241 Early Field Experience in the Secondary School (2)
4. Attend orientation and information session for admission the quarter before you plan to start the program. We strongly recommend attending the orientation or contacting the Director of Secondary Education (664-2176).
5. Near completion of a subject matter program (contact subject matter advisor) or pass the Praxis and SSAT Examinations in appropriate subject area (contact Testing Center).

1. Phase I
1. EDSE 412 Introduction to Education and Teaching (5)
2. EDSE 420 General Methods and Educational Technology (5)
3. EDSE 427 Teaching Reading in Secondary Schools II (5)

 
2. Phase II
1. EDSE 413 Managing and Assessing the Learning Process (5)
2. EDSE 421 Special Methods and Resources in the Major Subject Area (3)
3. EDSE 445 Single Subject Student Teaching I (7)

(Placement request forms are due the seventh week of the quarter preceding Phase II student teaching)
4. EDSE 446 Student Teaching Seminar I (1)

 
3. Phase III
1. EDSE 447 Single Subject Student Teaching II (13)

(Placement request forms are due the seventh week of the quarter preceding Phase III student teaching)
2. EDSE 448 Single Subject Student Teaching Seminar II (1)

After students complete this early field experience, satisfy the academic requirements of their major, and are accepted in the program, they complete one quarter of course work before beginning two quarters of supervised teaching. During this clinical experience, they work with a mentor teacher in the classroom, teaching only courses in their major. At the beginning they teach only half a day; during the second quarter they teach a full day. Student teachers experience adolescents at various grade levels, cultures, language and socioeconomic backgrounds during their supervised teaching.

Throughout this time they receive feedback, both oral and written, from their mentor teacher as well as their university supervisor who visits their classrooms every other week. The students discuss, reflect and problem solve their teaching activities at a seminar led by their university supervisor. In addition, the students keep a teaching notebook of their daily lessons and their reflections about them. They select their exemplary lessons to be included in their professional portfolios, which they share with each other during their last seminar.
 

Physical Education

Students interested in majoring in Physical Education should obtain general information about the program early in their lower division career. After declaring a major in Physical Education, they should meet with an appointed advisor within the department to plan a course of study (Education Building 142, (661) 664-2187). This is essential given that certain courses are offered only once a year and that many courses have prerequisites which require completion of sequenced non-major and major courses in order to fulfill these requirements.
