The Bachelor's Plus Early Pathway is a single subject credential program through which students complete a BA degree and a single subject teaching credential in four years. Students interested in a career in middle school and/or high school teaching are able to start working on their credential in the summer after their sophomore year. The Bachelor's Plus Early Pathway requires full-time enrollment in two summer quarters, in addition to the normal four academic years. Full time enrollments are also expected during the fall, winter and spring quarters of the final two academic years (check the Financial Aid section of this website for how the Bachelor's Plus Program can help with affordability).
