Teacher Education Credentialing Programs
On the leading edge of teacher training, Pacific Oaks College follows a progressive
teacher education credentialing program model that prepares students to think critically
about diversity, culture, and power in the classroom. Students explore learning as a
social, cultural, and cognitive process and are trained to apply Pacific Oaks' pioneering
approach to teaching—which considers diverse backgrounds, learning styles, and
abilities—to uncover each student's distinct potential. Coursework and fieldwork are
integrated throughout the program, allowing students to make connections between
theory and practice.
Pacific Oaks currently offers several pathways for completing coursework required for a
California State Preliminary Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. Students may
complete the course requirements for credentialing as a stand-alone program or within the
context of a joint degree/credential program.
Stand-Alone California Teaching Credential program:
 California Preliminary Multiple Subject Teaching Credential (MSEL/2042): 44
units of coursework and fieldwork. Qualifies candidates to teach in K-12 multiple
subjects in self-contained classrooms.
 Intern option is available for candidates who meet the following qualifications:
Earned B.A.; CBEST and CSET passed. Additional requirements prior to
recommendation for an Intern Credential: U.S. Constitution Competency,
Fingerprint Clearance, and employment at a public elementary school.

2. Joint Degree/Credential programs:
 M.A. in Education/CA Preliminary Multiple Subject credential
 B.A. in Early Childhood Education/California Preliminary Multiple Subject
teaching credential†
Basic Program Information:
 Offered at Pasadena's main campus and online for California residents
 Each Teacher Credential course is delivered in a combined on-campus/online
format, which includes both face-to-face and online components
 Flexible formats available—day, weekday evening, or weekend
 Curriculum is guided by the Teaching Performance Expectations (TPEs) and

(CCTC)
NOTE: In consultation with an academic advisor, a degree-seeking student may
simultaneously enroll in Education coursework to complete the course requirements for a
CA Preliminary Multiple Subject Credential.
†Teacher credentialing students who take advantage of the Credit for Life Experience
option must be working toward a B.A. Students who waive the B.A. are not eligible to
earn a California teaching credential.
