How can I obtain subject matter competence for the teaching credential in social science?
The online breadth area of social science covers most of the courses that lead to subject matter competency for a single subject (Social Science) teaching credential. A credential in social science enables the holder to teach history, geography, government, and economics in grades 6-12. Subject matter competency, however, still requires passing the CSET single subject, Social Science, exam. Additional courses are required by the Education Department at the University before student teaching can begin. You may log on to the Education Department’s website for the most up-to-date listing of these requirements at http://www.csuchico.edu/educ/ and then click on the block plan icon.
