By CSUSB

California State University, San Bernardino’s Palm Desert Campus is accepting applications for the fall 2015 term for California Career and Technical Designated Subjects teaching credentials.

The program is designed to prepare working or retired professionals for the California Career and Technical Designated Subjects teaching credential.

Individuals in the program come from any number of areas, including financial and business analysts, authors, artists, nurses, retailing/marketing professionals, NASA engineers, lawyers, carpenters, civil engineers, dental hygienists, bankers, chefs, graphic designers and linguists.

Upon completion of the academic program, graduates may apply for a California Designated Subjects teaching credential. The credential is recommended to teach in some California career and technical (regional occupational) training programs, community colleges, adult schools, many private and public schools and academies, as well as non-profit and public service training facilities.

In addition the credential is required to teach in public high school academies.

Classes are offered at CSUSB’s Palm Desert Campus with an online option. If a fast-track option is elected, the courses may be completed in two terms of study. In addition, course credits earned in obtaining the credential may be used as credit for a fast-track bachelor’s or master’s degree in career and technical studies at CSUSB.

To enroll, students must have at least a high school diploma. California residents over the age of 60 may be eligible for a full tuition waiver.
