Teaching Credential PreparationThe English Education concentration is a program of study that satisfies the subject matter preparation requirement for entry into an 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 pass-ing the CSET Multiple Subjects Assessment. For more information, contact the English Department Office at (707) 664-2140.
