The credential programs follow the TMU Credential Program Calendar, designed to align with local school district calendars rather than the TMU undergraduate calendar. Accordingly, the credential programs begin earlier and finish later than the TMU undergraduate programs. See important dates on the calendar.
Though they are fifth-year undergraduate programs, the credential programs maintain graduate-level quality and graduate-level expectations, resulting in high-quality preparation for teaching. As a result, our credential program alumni are well-qualified for teaching positions in public, private, and international schools, and are in high demand locally and elsewhere.
Credential Program-to-Master’s Degree pathway. Students who successfully complete a TMU credential program may apply for admission to the online Master of Education in Teaching degree program and transfer in up to 19 units of credential coursework toward that degree, meaning only 5 additional courses are needed to earn the M.Ed degree. For more information, see the TMU Online page, or contact us.
See the Program Outline page and the TMU Catalog for more detailed information about the programs.
