All candidates must be assessed for competence in the subject matter of the Liberal Studies subject matter program by faculty in that program priorto student teaching. It is important for all students to meet with the appropriate department major adviser regarding subject matter competency assessment before starting the credential program. Candidates must demonstrate subject matter competence in multiple subject areas by passing the Commission-approved examination in the areas listed below. This examination is the Multiple Subjects Assessment for Teachers (MSAT). The examination must be passed prior to student teaching. The examination may be waived upon completion of a Commission-approved "diversified" or "liberal arts" degree program. On this campus, the Liberal Studies subject matter program has been approved as a waiver of the state examination. Such a program must include 85 semester units, equally distributed among the four areas listed below.
The university's Liberal Studies subject matter program was approved by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing as a waiver of the multiple subject examination in 1973. Undergraduates who plan to become candidates for the multiple subject credential are encouraged to enroll in this program. Special advisers for this program are available in the various colleges of the university.
Students must pass the CBEST before enrolling in credential courses. A GPA of 3.0 or better, and no grade lower than a "C," is required in all courses comprising the Professional Teacher Education sequence and in courses that fulfill requirements for the professional clear credential. A grade of "CR" is acceptable only as mandated.
