Major Notes

GE modifications in this major: the Upper Division Area D General Education requirement is met by completion of the entire major program.

Students choose 10 units of elective courses to complement their program and support the “Depth of Study” (as defined by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing) of their program. For example, the Depth of Study 10-unit requirement may include minors such as, American Indian Education, American Sign Language and Special Populations, Family Studies, etc. Continued advising by department faculty is required every semester to help students make sure they are getting the correct coursework and experiences to support their professional development.
