SPS partners with the Liberal Studies & Credentialing Department to offer a Post-Baccalaureate Teacher Credential Program on both our Rocklin and San Jose Campuses. This one year, one evening a week program quickly covers 34 units of teaching preparation courses, everything necessary to be recommended for a California Preliminary Multiple Subject Teaching Credential (K-8 education). It is designed for working adults and non-credentialed teachers to complete in 12 months and become eligible for teaching employment. Built around a cohort model, candidates in the program quickly bond and grow as they learn together. The cost and time to complete compares very favorably with other credential programs.
