Degree Major Verification
This subject matter option requires a major in a bachelor's degree or higher that is aligned to the credential being sought.
What does that mean? Let us say that I hold a bachelor of arts degree in art history. Art history was my major. I am planning on applying to the single subject art credential program. To see if my major and the credential I am seeking are aligned I will look at the list of aligned degree majors.
Click the link that says List of Aligned Degree Majors. 
On the list you can see there is the subject, applicable degree major, and unacceptable degree major. Look for the subject area of the credential you are seeking, then look under applicable degree major for that subject to see if your major is aligned.
If your major is listed in the applicable degree major column then submit the degree major verification form.
If your major is listed in the unacceptable degree major column then do not submit the degree major verification form. Please review other options for meeting subject matter.
If your major is not listed under the acceptable or the unacceptable majors then you may submit the degree major verification form and we will review what option to select.
To submit your degree major verification form, click the yellow button that says Degree Major Verification Form. You will be taken to the Kuali platform where you can sign in with your CSUB ID and password. You must be a current CSUB student to sign into Kuali.
On the form your name, CSUB ID, and CSUB Email will auto-populate for you. Please select the campus you are attending, the credential program you are applying to, the term you are applying for, and the term year.
In the instructions section, you will see that you need to enter your degree major and the credential being sought and attach your unofficial transcript that shows your degree posted on it.
If you did not see your degree under the acceptable or unacceptable majors then you may select the option that says, my major is not listed. Then enter your degree major, the credential being sought, and attach your unofficial transcript showing your degree posted on it.
After you enter this information, press the blue submit button at the top of the form to submit your form.
Once you have submitted your form for verification you will receive an email with your evaluation results when your form has been processed. Check the SMC webpage for processing times for your SMC option.
