Overview

This minor is for students who would like to earn an additional authorization for teaching in a single-subject setting. This minor is ideal for students who are majoring in another subject area, with the intention of earning a teaching credential and would like to develop a foundation for the California Subject Examinations for Teachers (CSET) in physical education. Although single subject has traditionally been grades 7-12, some school districts are hiring physical education specialists at elementary schools as well.
