Teaching Credential Preparation
The English department offers a program of study that satisfies the subject
matter preparation requirement for entry into a English teaching credential
program and exempts the student from taking the CSET (California Subject
Examination for Teachers) in English. English majors interested in seeking
a general elementary credential may demonstrate subject matter competence
by passing the CSET Multiple Subjects Assessment. For more information,
contact the Greta Vollmer at (707)664-2504; or email greta.vollmer@sonoma.edu.
*All single subject concentration courses
must be passed with a grade of C or better in order to qualify as meeting
the waiver requirements. In addition, students must achieve a minimum
G.P.A. of 3.0 (in single subject program courses) to qualify for waiver
approval.
