Courses

The Master of Arts in Teaching with the Single Subject Teaching Credential is a 42-unit program that can be completed in two years while teaching full time. Students may transfer in up to 6 units of approved coursework. The program must be completed with a 3.0 GPA.

The program has three distinct phases:

• Phase I: Teaching Methodology Coursework (15 units)
• Phase II: Student Teaching (12 units)
• Phase III: Core Coursework (15 units)

Phase I: Teaching Methodology Coursework
