Azusa Pacific University’s 2042 Multiple-Subject Teaching Credential Program prepares teachers for positions at the elementary and middle school levels (K-8). The program, approved by the CCTC and NCATE, is comprised of specific methods courses which are accompanied by practical classroom-application field experiences in both primary and upper-elementary school assignments. All coursework and instruction is delivered from a distinctly Christian perspective, instilling in each candidate a strong foundation of ethics, compassion, and teaching competency. Individualized attention is emphasized throughout the program giving candidates the invaluable advantage of a personalized education.
The program is tailored to the working professional, offering classes at the Azusa campus and regional centers throughout Southern California. Upon completion, the graduate will have earned both a Preliminary Multiple-Subject Teaching Credential and a Master of Arts in Education: Teaching. The master’s degree is earned after the candidate has completed all requirements for the Preliminary Credential and program coursework.
Candidates holding an accredited bachelor’s degree, subjectmatter competence, and full-time teaching employment may be eligible for APU’s innovative 2042 Multiple-Subject Internship Teaching Credential/Master of Arts in Education: Teaching Program. Designed for candidates already teaching in the field, the program combines curricula of the credential and master’s programs to deliver a unique educational package. More than 150 California districts cooperate in the program, meeting the needs of public school teachers on intern credentials, as well as those teaching in private schools.
