Single Subject Credential Program, CSULB

A teacher with a Single Subject Credential is authorized to teach the specific subjects named on the credential in departmentalized schools. This is commonly done in California high schools and in most California junior high and middle schools. However, a teacher authorized for single subject instruction may be assigned to teach any subject in his or her authorized fields at any grade level: preschool, kindergarten and grades one through twelve; or in classes organized primarily for adults.
