Teaching Licensure at CSU: A Q&A

Interested in a career in teaching?

At CSU, we offer teacher licensure in a variety of concentration areas, ranging from art to math (and beyond). Simply select an approved major in the content area you’re interested in, and education coursework will be built into that degree program. This allows you to combine your teaching goals with your academic passions.

12 majors to choose from

Your first step is to select from one of our 12 approved majors. During your second year at CSU, you will apply to the teaching licensure program through a non-competitive admission process.
