LEVEL 1 Coursework & Field
Experience (59-Units plus up to possible 9-units Prerequisites)
[Total Level I Core Units includes 18-units of student teaching experiences; a candidate may meet some of these state field
experience requirements in their own place of special education employment. Total program units may also be less based upon
equivalencies granted by a departmental advisor per previous experiences, university courses, and credentials held by a candidate.
Candidates may attend the program full-time or part-time. The Moderate/Severe Educational Specialist Credential Program can be
