Multiple Subject Teaching Credential
Inspire. Teach.
At Humphreys University, our Multiple Subject Teaching Credential program educates motivated and determined students who desire a quality academic program. The credential program is designed to prepare teacher candidates for the challenges of and opportunities for teaching at the elementary and middle school levels (K-8) of California’s highly diverse schools. Integrated coursework, highly engaging instruction, and hands-on teaching experiences emphasize effective, result-oriented teaching strategies, differentiated instruction, instructional technology integration, and practical real-world skills necessary to manage classrooms within differing organizational structures (e.g.; combination classes, traditional and block schedules). Our program is designed so that busy adults can juggle courses with the demands of every-day life by attending courses in both face-to-face and hybrid formats.
Our professors are experts in their fields and understand how to integrate real-world experiences into classroom instruction. Because we keep our classes small – five to twenty students – you receive the guidance and support you need to succeed.
The program provides the rigorous training and experience necessary for candidates to successfully earn the California Preliminary Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. You can begin the program at the start of any of our 11-week quarters. Our quarters begin in early October, January, April, and July. The application process is easy, and counselors are available to walk you through the financial aid process.
Students in our MSTC program will be able to:
• create lesson plans and units that incorporate student’s interest to maximize engagement and learning comprehension.
