Select from the emphasis areas described below. At least 12 credits must come from one Emphasis area. Students may select courses from other emphasis areas or transfer in appropriate courses to meet the credit requirement.
Brandman University awards 6 semester credits towards Advanced electives for successful completion of an Education Specialist Clear Induction Program. The Education Specialist Clear Induction program must be completed prior to the student being awarded these 6 units, and will be evaluated for credit hour compliance. If students use these 6 units of block transfer, they will be allowed 6 additional units of transfer for the entire program.
Students admitting into Option 1 must select one emphasis area when applying. The remaining advanced electives credits must be decided upon with an advisor and communicated to the Teacher Accreditation Department so the credits can be added to the student’s official program.
