The Education Division 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 Education Specialist (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 not all emphases areas are available at every campus.
Additionally, University College offers all Professional Clear Credential courses for those who hold a Ryan or 1059 preliminary credential, and coursework for the CLAD Certificate. These courses are offered at most campuses and some are available online. Finally, the California Professional Reading Certificate is available at some campuses.

Please note that the following sections provide general information regarding the policies and procedures of the Education Division. Some credential and graduate programs have additional or varying requirements that are specified in the Education Division Procedures Manual. Program requirements may be adjusted to reflect unanticipated changes in regulations issued by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
Because the graduate programs in Education involve preparing students to work within the public schools, the Education faculty assumes the responsibility for reasonably assuring that individuals who complete a program are not only academically competent but are aware of and capable of functioning within the established ethical and professional standards of the profession.
According to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC) regulations, Chapman University College has an obligation to public schools to dismiss candidates who are unsuited to be teachers, school counselors, school psychologies and/or administrators. Therefore, the institution reviews each candidate competence throughout the program in all aspects, including written and oral communication skills and attitude, and informs candidates of their strengths and weaknesses, provides opportunities for corrective learning, places marginal candidates on probation, dismisses candidates who are determined to be unsuited as teachers, and considers candidates' appeals.
The university has both the right and obligation to evaluate continually, and if necessary to terminate the student's participation in the credential programs at any point for ethical violations and/or personal unsuitability for the profession.
