Scholarships

The Department of English annually gives many scholarships and awards to outstanding undergraduate and graduate students. Information about these scholarships and awards is available from the Department office at the beginning of the spring semester.

Single Subject Teaching Credential in English

In addition to meeting the subject matter competence requirement for the Single Subject Teaching Credential in English, prospective English teachers are also required to complete 45 units of professional preparation in the Single Subject Credential Program, including student teaching. Students may begin the professional preparation courses as early as the junior year. With careful planning, it is possible to complete all of the credential program courses, except for student teaching, as an undergraduate. Courses may also be completed as a post-baccalaureate student. Refer to the Single Subject Teacher Education  section of this catalog or the website (www.ced.csulb.edu/single-subject) for a description of professional preparation requirements, courses, and application procedures. Prospective students should consult the department’s English Education Advisor early to plan their program.
