Earn Your Teaching Credential

Through the MAT@USC you are eligible to apply for a Single or Multiple Subject California Teaching Credential.

If your goal is to teach in another state, our student services team will provide support and direction to help you identify the most direct and efficient path to local certification:

• Earn a California credential, which you can then transfer to another state through interstate reciprocity

OR

• Complete the program and apply direct to your local state’s credential

For additional information about earning a teaching credential in your home state, please contact an admissions counselor.
