Has anyone used a TESU degree to obtain CA teaching certificate?

[Insert Name]

Might look at https://oxfordteachers.reach.edu/admissions/ but you have to be employed/sponsored by a school district where you have contact hours with students for the BA.  It's not accelerated but the price isn't terrible.  One of the programs listed on https://www.reach.edu/academics is the California alternative certification program.

Thank you for the link. I’m reading through it. Is this a full 4 year program, or an “if you already have a bachelors” program?

Has anyone used a BS/BA from TESU (or other big 3 or similar) to become a teacher in California? Mapping out possible routes for GF right now, and one of the routes we’re looking at is transferring from a CA community college to TESU. I’m wondering what that would look like if she were to decide to go after her teaching certificate (single subject, or general).

TESU does not have a teaching credential program, so if you wanted to go this route, you'd get your degree in whatever you wanted, and then go through an alternative certification program to get your credential.  It's easy enough to do though, and the cost savings over going through a 4yr in-state CA school would be huge.  Just a few extra hoops  to jump through.

That’s what I’m looking at. Wrap up her AA, then instead of transferring to a state school knock out whatever can be done through Study or something that way (or even knock those out while finishing the AA) before transferring to TESU (they have a foreign language degree). Then find a teaching certificate program to go through. Any suggestions on a cert program? Or know if anyone here has gone this route?
