Note(s):
*Students interested in elementary teaching should take KIN 3100 and GSC 2120 /GSC 2120L to be subject matter competent to enter a teaching credential program. Taking KIN 4430 or GSC 1100 will apply towards graduation but will not provide the subject matter knowledge necessary to qualify for subject matter competent for an elementary teaching credential program. If students do not complete these courses, they will need to self-study in those areas to possess the content for the credential program, which will not reteach the content.
Subplan/Option Required: 32 units
Subplan/Option Electives: 6 units
All subplan/option elective courses must be passed with a grade of “C” or better to receive major credit. Any combination of courses listed below will satisfy the required 6 units. Emphases are listed to provide guidance for helping students to choose courses of interest that best fit your career goals, but there is no requirement for choosing a specific emphasis for fulfilling these units. A chosen emphasis in combination with other major courses benefits pre-credential students by demonstrating a concentration in a single subject matter area.
Human Development Emphasis
Visual and Performing Arts Emphasis
Unrestricted Electives: 0-22 units
Select a sufficient number of courses from “Major Required”, “Subplan/Option Required”, “Subplan/Option Electives”, “GE”, and “Unrestricted Electives” so that they total at least 120 units.
