A teacher with a Single Subject Credential is authorized to teach the specific subject(s) named on the credential in departmentalized schools. This is commonly done in California high schools and in most California junior high and middle schools.  (Music, Physical Education, Art, and Foreign Language teachers in elementary schools usually have Single Subject Credentials.)  The Single Subject Credential Program (SSCP) at CSULB is a state-approved program that prepares teachers in ten subject areas (Art, English, Family and Consumer Sciences, Health Science, Languages Other Than English, Mathematics, Music, Physical Education & Adapted Physical Education, Science, and Social Science).  The program includes courses in the single subject teaching area, in Secondary Education (EDSE), and in Single Subject Education (EDSS).
