Special
Education Credential & Master's Programs
California State University,
Sacramento offers off-campus teacher preparation credentials and
master's degree programs in several locations. These programs are
sponsored through a partnership with the College of Education's
Department of Special Education, Rehabilitation, and School Psychology
and the College of Continuing Education.
All coursework and experience
in these programs meet the same admission, credential preparation
and graduation requirements as those held on the Sacramento State
campus. The programs offered include:
- preliminary
(Level I) and clear (Level II) specialist credentials for mild/moderate
and moderate/severe disability areas
- master's
of education with an emphasis in Special Education
Program flexibility allows
fully employed teachers and teachers' assistants to attend on a
part-time basis via a variety of course formats including weekend,
evening, workday and summer scheduling. Most participants complete
the credential requirements within three years.
Participants may enroll
in each of the prerequisite courses and no more than six required
units prior to admission to the credential program. Coursework may
transfer from other universities with advisor approval.
Personal program advising
is offered at each location on a regular basis. Additional information
about credential and degree requirements is available at: http://aaweb.csus.edu/catalog/current/PROGRAM/EDS.asp
Fieldwork requirements
may be met through teacher internships, student teaching in your
own classroom and traditional classroom placement with a supervising
cooperating teacher.
