Preliminary Single Subject Credential

Students interested in teaching middle or high school should complete the requirements for the Preliminary Single Subject Credential. Students must demonstrate subject matter competence by completing an approved subject matter program, necessary major, or by passing the California Subject Examinations for Teachers (CSET). Check with a School of Education advisor to find out if your major has an approved subject matter program.

Candidates must complete all credential and state requirements to be eligible for a credential. Credential requirements may change based on state regulations. Current credential requirements can be obtained from the School of Education credential program advisors.
