If you think you may be interested in teachinghigh school English, you’ll be happy to learn that the State of California has approved our program for preparing high school teachers in single subject matter

competency. Completion of the approved program waives the difficult CSET Examinations that one must pass before teaching English in high school. You still need to take a sequence of education courses to earn your credential. These are available at the graduate level and some may be taken during your senior year.

Students interested in teaching should consult both the coordinator of the Subject Matter Preparation Program in English (Jan Doane) and the director of the School of Education’s Single Subject Credential Program (David Krapf) to make sure that all the prerequisites are being met. The requirements for the SMPP can be found here.
