Single-Subject Teaching Credential, Track A
and Master of Arts in Education: Teaching

Azusa Pacific University’s 2042 Single-Subject Teaching Credential Program prepares teachers for positions at the middle and high school levels (7-12), and K-12 specialists in art, music, and physical education. The program, approved by the CCTC and NCATE, is comprised of specific pre-professional and professional course requirements, accompanied by practical classroom application in middle schools and high schools. All coursework and instruction is delivered from a distinctly Christian perspective, instilling in each candidate a strong foundation of ethics, compassion, and teaching competency. Individualized attention is emphasized throughout the program giving candidates the invaluable advantage of a personalized education.

All single-subject teachers receive certification to teach in a specific content area through their subject-matter competence, which is achieved either through completion of a CCTC approved subject-matter program or passage of CSET in a content area appropriate for the field of teaching.

In addition, to further prepare themselves as highly marketable educators, single-subject candidates are encouraged to obtain a supplementary authorization along with their credential.

This single-subject credential program contains a Track A specifically designed for the candidate who is not teaching full-time in a K-12 school and who lacks subject-matter competence. This track is also appropriate for adults making career changes, as well as for those who are teaching without fulfilling subject-matter competence. Do you have a full-time teaching position and subject matter competence (CSET)? If so, read about our Track B Program.
