THE PROFESSIONAL TEACHER PREPARATION PROGRAM FOR THE MULTIPLE SUBJECT (ELEMENTARY) CREDENTIAL PROGRAM
The Professional Teacher Preparation Program for the Multiple Subject (Elementary) Credential prepares individuals to teach in self-contained classrooms at the elementary or middle school level where multiple subjects are taught. Candidates may select either a two or three-semester credential program sequence, or a three-semester sequence that can include teaching on an internship credential. The Department also offers two Bilingual Cross-cultural and Academic Development (BCLAD) Emphasis options: the Asian BCLAD and the Spanish BCLAD. Applicants to the credential program must either hold a bachelor's degree or have completed their general education and major requirements. Applicants must pass the CSET before entering the program.

Freshmen may opt to simultaneously pursue an undergraduate major and a teaching credential through the Streamlined Teacher Education Program (STEP), which leads to a Multiple Subject Credential or to a basic Education Specialist Credential. The section on Credentials in this catalog contains more information on STEP.

California law requires an academic major; there is no major in education. Students who opt for STEP select a Liberal Studies or Child and Adolescent Studies major. Students who opt for the fifth-year Multiple Subject Credential Program devote their first three or four years of work to completing requirements for the baccalaureate degree with an academic major. Majors in the social sciences, humanities, or natural sciences provide excellent background for careers in elementary school teaching. Individuals interested in working as bilingual teachers may consider a major in a non-English language. Students are encouraged to attend a program overview during the junior and senior year. Overview schedules may be obtained through the Office of Admissions to Teacher Education. Applications for admission to STEP are processed through the Center for Careers in Teaching in Humanities 113 or by phone at (714) 278-7130.

Three-Semester Internship Program
The three-semester Intern Credential Programs for Multiple Subject and Multiple Subject BCLAD credentials are three-semester programs to which candidates may apply while completing the first semester of the regular credential preparation program. Admission is contingent on approved full-time employment with a participating district, superior standing in first-semester coursework and student teaching, and recommendations from University and district personnel. The remaining two semesters involve paid teaching internship positions and University coursework. Additionally, some opportunities may arise for candidates in the three-semester non-internship program to pursue internship status. Questions may be directed to the Intern Coordinator. Information about these programs is available in the Office of Admission to Teacher Education.

Both the two- and three-semester credential programs require substantial time commitments. The three-semester credential program requires evening course work and may require Saturday course work.
