Basic Teaching Credentials
The CSU prepares teachers for positions in California as well as other states. It is in the student's best interest to be knowledgeable about credential or licensure requirements of the state in which they intend to teach.
Requirements (16 units)
The Early Childhood Special Education Added Authorization may be added to Education Specialist credentials with authorizations under the 1997 standards (i.e. Level I and Level II credentials) and the 2004 standards (i.e. Preliminary or Clear credentials). Individuals with a valid Education Specialist credential with the Early Childhood Special Education Added Authorization may serve students with disabilities between the ages of birth and pre-kindergarten.
