 Return to: Index of Academic Degrees, Certificates and Programs Listed by Degree
The Multiple Subject Teaching credential authorizes its holders to teach in a self-contained classroom such as the classrooms in most elementary schools. However, a teacher authorized for multiple subject instruction may be assigned to teach in any self-contained classroom (preschool, K-12, or in classes organized primarily for adults). In addition, the holder of a Multiple Subject Teaching credential may serve in a core or team teaching setting.
Students can earn a Multiple Subject Teaching credential as undergraduate students or as post-baccalaureate (graduate) students.
Undergraduate students earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in the following fields may choose to earn a Multiple Subject Teaching credential concurrently with their B.A.:
- Child and Family Studies
