The Education Department offers Graduate Degree Programs in Education and California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC) approved Teacher Credential Programs and Certificate Programs in Education.

For those interested in becoming teachers at the elementary or secondary levels, Chapman's University College offers programs that lead to the Preliminary 2042 Multiple Subject or 2042 Single Subject California Teaching Credential. An Internship Program is available in both of these credential programs at most campuses. The 2042 Multiple Subject and the 2042 Single Subject California Teaching Credential can be earned simultaneous with the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree.

For those interested in becoming teachers in special education, University College offers the Preliminary Level I and Professional Level II Mild/Moderate and Moderate/Severe California Education Specialist Credentials. The two Preliminary Level I programs can be combined with either the 2042 Multiple Subject or the 2042 Single Subject Credential. These credential programs are available in a "credential only" format or in a Master of Arts in Teaching format. Students in a Preliminary Level I program may be eligible, under certain conditions, to participate in an Internship program.

Please note that these Special Education programs are not offered at all University College campuses.

For those interested in educational administration, University College offers the Preliminary (Tier I) and Professional Clear (Tier II) Administrative Services Credentials plus the Internship Credential for qualified candidates. A selection of Tier I courses may be integrated into the Master of Arts in Education (MAE) degree with an emphasis in Educational Leadership and Administration.

For those interested in school counseling or school psychology, University College offers the Pupil Personnel Services Credential and the Master of Arts degree in School Counseling. The Educational Specialist degree in School Psychology and the Master of Arts in Educational Psychology with the Pupil Personnel Services Credential in school psychology is also offered.

University College also offers the Master of Arts in Education (MAE) degree. The MAE is offered with emphases in Curriculum and Instruction, Reading, Educational Leadership and Administration, Instructional Technology, Professional Teaching Standards, and Professional Learning Community. Please note that some emphasis areas are not available at all campuses.

Finally, University College offers all Professional Clear Credential courses for those who hold a Ryan or 1059 preliminary credential, the CLAD Certificate and the California Professional Reading Certificate. These courses are offered at most campuses and some are available on line.
