students preparing to teach at the secondary level should plan to qualify for state of California teaching credentials by completing the bachelor's degree and passing the PRAXIS (or SSAT) subject area assessment. During the freshman year prospective teachers of both secondary and elementary levels should see the School of Education section of the UNDERGRADUATE BULLETIN and consult the credential analyst and the Department of Curriculum and Instruction in the School of Education for detailed information concerning requirements.

a further program leading to the Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction designed for prospective elementary/secondary teachers is described in the GRADUATE BULLETIN.

a student who wishes to study on location a language not offered by the department may present to the department a request for independent language study, accompanied by a detailed study plan and specific objectives as worked out by the student and the advisor. This arrangement is most beneficial for students who have previously studied a language and who have demonstrated ability for independent study.
