This dashboard shows the Commission-approved institutions offering California educator preparation programs, separated out by program pathway. To view information about other pathways, click the tab for that pathway, found directly above the title of the dashboard. For additional guidance, please visit How to Use Dashboards to view the instructions regarding how to use tabs.

Where can I find more information about the pathways?

If you're still not sure which program to enroll in, it may help to visit our Pathways to Credentialing page. There you will find information on how the pathways differ so you can decide which pathway is best suited for you. When you've decided on a pathway, you can return to this dashboard to narrow down the programs you're interested in and find the one.

I've found my program! What's next?

Congratulations on finding your program! Now get started by visiting their website to find out what their application deadlines and prerequisites are. If you have any questions, contact them to learn more. If you see a requirement on the list that you haven't met, such as subject matter competence, for example, you should work on that right away so that when the application window opens, you'll be ready. Once you've been accepted, your new program will guide you through the entire process of earning your credential and becoming a full-fledged teacher.
