Welcome to the UC Davis Teacher Education Program, where you will enjoy a teacher education experience unlike anywhere else! Some of the highlights of the program are:

• Experiencing student teaching in the same classroom for the entire school year and forming close relationships with your students.
• Receiving your credential after one academic year and being qualified to teach (and get paid!) while completing your master’s degree in two quarters.
• Working closely with faculty who are all experienced classroom teachers.
• Being able to transfer what you learn in class directly to your student teaching experience

Applications for the Education Credential/M.A. program are now available.

We will begin reviewing applications in November. Please contact us at eduadvising@ucdavis.edu if you have any questions about completing and submitting your application. 

Our Integrated Teaching Credential with Master’s Degree Program offers an opportunity for qualified students to complete the requirements for both a Masters of Arts in Education degree and a Multiple Subject OR Single Subject Credential (with optional BCLAD emphasis) in a 15-month, 5 quarter program.

The Credential Program prepares students for the teaching profession by immersing them in the total environment of a public school classroom while enrolled in required coursework. The coursework incorporates a theoretical-practical approach to the teaching-learning process, encouraging close interactions among teacher candidates and teacher education faculty. Students complete requirements for the M.A. degree during two part-time quarters following the credential year.

This course work introduces the integration of research into teaching practice, making teachers more informed and pro-active practitioners.
