The Center for Undergraduate Teacher Preparation (CUTP) within the School of Education offers great opportunities for students preparing for careers in K-12 teaching. The Center provides students matriculation-to-graduation advising and other academic and professional support. Students completing a program supported by the Center will achieve both a degree in their chosen discipline as well as fulfill the requirements for a California preliminary teaching credential, which qualifies students to start their teaching career upon graduation. Our credentials are recognized in California and, through reciprocity agreements, in most states across the country.
