SECTION C

If You Plan to Take the CSET

If you pass all three subtests of the California Subject Examinations for Teachers (CSET):  Mathematics, you have established subject matter competence for a Single Subject Teaching Credential in Mathematics. This will be verified by the Credential Office and you do not need to see an advisor in the Mathematics Department.

If you pass Subtest I (algebra/number theory) and Subtest II (geometry/probability and statistics) of the CSET, you have established subject-matter competence for a Foundational-Level Mathematics Teaching Credential. Again, you do not need to see an advisor in the Mathematics Department. The Single Subject Teaching Credential in Foundational-Level Mathematics authorizes the holder to teach general mathematics, algebra, geometry, probability and statistics, and consumer mathematics in grades twelve and below, including preschool, and in classes organized primarily for adults. The teaching of Advanced Placement (AP) courses and other mathematics courses are not authorized by this credential.
