Single Subject Matter Preparation Programs
 * English
 * Mathematics
 * Physical Education
 * Science
 * Social Science

 
Single Subject Matter Preparation Programs approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC) are alternatives to the subject matter examinations and act as appropriate subject matter preparation for the Single Subject Teaching Credential. The CCTC has recently changed the standards for these programs. Cal State East Bay has Single Subject Matter Preparation Programs in English, Mathematics, Physical Education, Science, and Social Science.
 
The programs in English, Mathematics and Science in this catalog have been approved by the CCTC for students who began taking one or more of the courses listed below before July 1, 2005. These programs must be completed by July 1, 2009. The CSUEB Single Subject Matter Preparation Program in Physical Education has been approved by the CCTC for students who began taking one or more of the courses listed below by July 1, 2006. The Physical Education program must be completed by July 1, 2010. The CSUEB Single Subject Matter Preparation Program in Social Science that appears in this catalog has been revised to meet the new CCTC standards, but final CCTC approval is pending. For information about these programs, contact the relevant departments directly.
 
 
Please consult the 2008-2009 online catalog for any changes that may occur.
