TeachersCHOICE: Your path to a career in teaching - from credential to masters degree.
TeachersCHOICE lets you choose the best way to earn your teaching credential.
Different teaching candidates deserve different ways to earn their teachers credential. That is precisely why we created TeachersCHOICE, the four distinct programs (shown on illustration at right) leading to your California Teachers Certification. 
With TeachersCHOICE Teaching Certification Programs, you can easily find the approach, timetable and support that work
- Get paid to teach while earning your credential
- Learn in a practical, knowledge-building seminar setting
- Enjoy comprehensive mentoring and support
- Waive most traditionally required teacher-education coursework

This hands-on experience is a rigorous yet streamlined preparation for the classroom - and your credits transfer quickly and easily to a our online Master's Degree in Education with Teaching Emphasis, should you choose. See for yourself. Learn more about admission.
