Secondary Education Minor The School of Education offers a state-approved professional teacher preparation program which leads to a preliminary single subject teaching credential in the state of California. The Single Subject credential authorizes the holder to teach the specific subject named on the credential. In most cases individuals with this credential will be offered employment in middle schools and high schools. The teacher preparation program can be added as a minor to any major; however, candidates are advised to major in the subject area they wish to teach. Candidates who take the following 18 units qualify for a Secondary Education Minor: LEDU 301, 330, 341, 425, 433, 436, 437. Please refer to the Education section of the catalog or meet with a credential analyst in the School of Education for program requirements.
