Preliminary Administrative Services Credential

The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing has approved this program for granting administrative credentials. Students who successfully complete the program requirements can obtain the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential and/or a Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Educational Management.

Students have four options in the program:

1. To obtain both the M.Ed. and the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential (33 semester hours total), or
2. To obtain the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential only (24 semester hours total), or
3. To obtain one of the above while serving in an internship, or
4. To obtain the M.Ed. only (33 semester hours).

An Administrative Internship credential is available with permission of the program chair. The candidate must be fully matriculated in the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential program and meet University and CTC Administrative Internship Credential requirements prior to being recommended for the Internship Credential.
