Course Listing

There are four courses offered, at a cost of $370/unit.  

  • To obtain the Specific Supplementary Authorization through the CTC, teachers must complete the following four courses with “C” or better grades: CSC 110, CSC 111, CSC 112, and CSC 113. 
  • To obtain the Introductory Supplementary Authorization, teachers must complete the following three courses with “C” or better grades: CSC 110, 111, and 113.  
  • The first two courses, CSC 110 and CSC 111, are offered in the summer term.  CSC 112 and CSC 113 are offered back-to-back in the fall term.
