An Antioch University Santa Barbara undergraduate student can apply and gain provisional acceptance into the MAE and Teacher Credentialing Program if s/he also meets other, standard requirements. The student must have (1) 36 or less upper-division undergraduate units remaining to complete the BA degree; (2) completed all of the BA requirements in both general studies and the major area of concentration and (3) complete LBS308 Capstone Seminar prior to or in quarter 1 of the MAE/TC Program (summer) (4) taken and passed the CBEST exam. Consideration for early enrolment into the MAE/TC program also requires that BA Candidacy be achieved. Antioch undergraduates who take MAE courses may apply credit toward their BA degree during Quarters One and Two of the MAE/TC Program. Courses offered after Quarter Two, however, cannot be credited towards the BA degree; instead they are credited toward the MA in Education degree.
Full acceptance into the MAE/TC program is contingent upon:
* Awarding of BA degree
* Successful completion of quarters 1 & 2 of MAE/TC coursework
* Advancement to student teaching (end of second quarter)
* Passage of CSET test (Taking the CSET prior to beginning work in the first quarter of the MAE/TC program is strongly recommended.)
* Passage of Basic Skills requirement
