Academic Program

The Teacher Education Internship Program offers course work leading to a variety of credentials.  Currently we offer both Preliminary and Clear Credentials for multiple subject, single subject and education specialist instruction.  Because the program is both a master’s and a credentialing program, the CGU institutional degree requirements and the California State credentialing requirements must be met.  We also offer an Added-Authorization in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and a CGU Certificate in ASD. 

The following specific credential and/or degree programs are offered:

As noted, each of the preliminary credential programs is designed to be earned concurrently with the MA in Education with a total of 36 units.  All other programs listed here contain units that can also be counted toward the regular 32-unit MA in Education as described under general SES guidelines.
• Applied Mathematics.  The Preliminary Single Subject Credential in Mathematics can be earned in conjunction with an MA in Applied Mathematics in a special 48-unit program inclusive of both degree and credential requirements.  The courses consist of 28 specific education units and 20 specific mathematics units.  Students who apply to this program need a strong background in applied mathematics to be successful.
