The Curriculum

The actual number of credit units necessary for certification depends on the student's background and program. Upon admission to the Post-Baccalaureate program, each student's transcript is evaluated by an adviser in the Department of Education to determine the courses needed for certification. Students who have no prior course work in education should plan on a minimum of 30 credit units in education courses (48 units for elementary education).
