Our Programs
Preliminary Single Subject
Teaching Credential
At the California School of Education (CSOE), we believe that every classroom should have a qualified teacher at the helm, regardless of where that classroom is. Our Preliminary Single Subject Teaching Credential Program allows future educators like yourself to specialize within a specific academic subject of expertise in California’s middle and high schools and become the English, math, science, or other teacher who inspires the next generation of students and makes a lasting impact in the classroom.
Preliminary Multiple Subject Teaching Credential
This credential program is for those who feel a calling to shape future generations as elementary school teachers in general education. This program prepares you to become a teacher-of-record in any self-contained K-12 classroom within California, offering instruction and leadership while providing a well-rounded and comprehensive education to each and every student in your classrooms.
I enjoy the individual attention professors can give to each student. I hope that the program and the university will continue to grow, and become a renowned university one day, which it absolutely deserves.
Kwan Pui Alice Chan, CSOE Student
“In my experience with Alliant it was very clear from the start that there was a commitment to education being the great equalizer—and so I feel like I got the tools through my learning at Alliant that are allowing me to become a better teacher and reach out to everyone in my classrooms.”
- Evelyn Serrano
"I have learned so much in the past semesters. In addition to academic knowledge, the cultural diversity of the school has provided a lot of opportunities for me to make friends with people around the globe, and learn a lot about their cultures."

The program must be granted Candidacy Status, have a preaccreditation review, complete an on-site evaluation, and be granted Accreditation Status before its graduates will be eligible to sit for the national certification examination for the occupational therapist administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). After successful completion of this exam, the individual will be an Occupational Therapist, Registered (OTR). In addition, all states require licensure to practice; however, state licenses are usually based on the results of the NBCOT Certification Examination. A felony conviction may affect a graduate’s ability to sit for the NBCOT certification examination or attain state licensure.
In addition to the above statements, the program must have a documented and published policy to ensure that students complete all graduation and fieldwork requirements in a timely manner. Students must complete 24 weeks of Level II fieldwork within 12 months following completion of the didactic portion of the program.
