- Good academic standing at the last college or university attended;
- Currently enrolled in a teaching credential program or hold a valid California Teaching Credential.
- Submission of two letters of recommendation from established educators who can judge your competence to succeed in a rigorous graduate program;
- Submission of a statement of purpose of no more than 150 words, including the applicant's personal goals for the graduate education program.
