Upon successful completion of the MAT@USC Single or Multiple Subject Credential program, and its basic skills and subject area competency requirements, you will become eligible for recommendation to the California preliminary teacher certification. If your goal is to teach in Idaho, certification will involve either becoming preliminarily certified in California, then transferring your certification to Idaho through interstate reciprocity agreements; or by applying directly to your Idaho’s credentialing authority for certification.
