California State University, Stanislaus is authorized to recommend individuals for Preliminary Education Specialist Credentials in two areas: Mild/Moderate Disabilities and Moderate/Severe Disabilities. The Preliminary programs prepare individuals to perform responsibilities of entry-level special education teachers.
It is recommended that undergraduates seeking admission to the Preliminary Education Specialist Credential enroll in the Liberal Studies major with a concentration in Exceptional Children and Youth.
There is an option to receive dual credentials with concurrent enrollment in Education Specialist: Mild and Moderate Disabilities with Multiple Subject or Single Subject Credential Programs. Contact the program coordinator for more information.
Starting fall 2018 there will be a new Integrated 4-year program to earn your BA in Liberal Studies with an Education Specialist Credential. Contact Liberal Studies for complete details & information at (209) 667-3749, or email them at liberalstudies@csustan.edu
