Pre-Credential Option
The pre-credential option of the History Major meets the subject matter competency requirement for prospective teachers seeking a California Single Subject Credential in Social Science. The Pre-Credential Option allows students to qualify for a fifth-year credential program and is especially suited for students who want to teach history or social science in middle and high schools. But it is also highly recommended for all of our majors!
