Preliminary Administrative Services Credential

The program competencies of the preliminary credential are clustered into a series of five courses and three fieldwork experiences. The coursework scope and sequence are developed to provide a balance between theory and practice. The fieldwork interfaces with the California Administrator Assessment (CalAPA) and relates directly to the cluster of concepts appropriate to a particular course. The fieldwork projects deal with actual, on-site work of school administrators.

This 24 unit program leads to a certificate of eligibility (24 units) or a preliminary administrative services credential (if the candidate is offered a position requiring an administrative services credential).
