Programs

The Integrated Teacher Education Program (ITEP) combines the study of academic subject matter for elementary school teaching with professional preparation and student teaching. Successful completion of ITEP includes both a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. This program can be completed in 4 years.

Liberal Studies Track I is our traditional teacher education program where students complete their Bachelor's degree in Liberal Studies and then go on to complete their teaching credential either at CSULB or at another university. Students can go on to complete either their Multiple Subject Teaching Credential or a Special Education Teaching Credential. Track I also includes a concentration. The concentration consists of 4 or 5 courses in a specific subject area of the student's chosing. Track I is an approved pre-professional program of subject matter preparation consistent with the standards established by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.

The Track II has been discontinued. No new majors are being admitted into this program.
