Thank you for your interest in the UC Davis Credential/Master of Education program! 

We are excited to share with you some program changes for 2027-2028. Our program will now be a four-quarter program instead of a six-quarter program, and students will earn a Master of Education (M.Ed.) degree instead of a Master of Arts! We offer a multiple subject credential, single subject credentials in agriculture/agriculture specialist, English, math, science, and social science, and bilingual authorizations in Spanish and Mandarin. The 2027-28 program will start on July 19, 2027 and end on June 15, 2028.
