Teaching Credentials
The Department of Teacher Education offers a number of teaching credential program options for multiple and single subjects candidates. Once admitted, students are assigned to a specific cohort (called “centers" for Multiple Subjects and “clusters” for Single Subject).
Candidates begin their credential program in a specific center or cluster and progress through the program together within that center or cluster. Each center or cluster focuses on developing a sense of community. Within that community, support is provided for individual students' development.
