Credential Program News
Exciting news for future California teachers! A new law (Senate Bill 153),makes it easier to obtain a teaching credential by eliminating the CBEST requirement for most programs if you hold a bachelor's degree. If you've been considering a teaching career or have already applied for a credential, this change could benefit you. While most requirements have changed, some exceptions apply.
