Education Credential Programs

In Ukiah, Dominican University of California offers two options for completing the Master's of Science in Education: Curriculum and Instruction plus a teaching credential.  We offer Multiple Subject, Single Subject and Education Specialist Level I Mild/Moderate credentials. A one-year supervised student teaching program is available, as is a two-year internship credential program for all candidates. All programs begin in the fall semester only, with classes held primarily on weekends and evenings to meet the needs of working adults.

Supervised student teaching and internship placements are available in Lake, Mendocino, and Sonoma counties. Depending on student enrollment and geographic density, courses may be held in Ukiah, Fort Bragg, Lakeport, and/or Santa Rosa.

Master of Science in Education: Curriculum and Instruction

Only students who have completed the Multiple Subject, Single Subject or Education Specialist Credential Program on one of Dominican's campuses in San Rafael or Ukiah are eligible for this program of advanced studies.

A maximum of fifteen (15) units from the completed Dominican Credential Program may be applied toward the 30-units required for this degree. The balance of the fifteen (15) units form the core course requirements in the program. This degree is designed to meet the professional career needs of current teachers, with a focus on the praxis of teachers-as-researchers and teachers-as-scholars. Candidates complete a thesis or directed research project, approved by their advisor, and presented at the end of the program to faculty and students. Courses are offered in a hybrid format, both online and on campus.

This program usually requires three (3) semesters of graduate level work at the University. Late afternoon, evening, Saturday, and online classes are scheduled to meet the needs of working professionals. Admission is open for fall. Financial aid is available for qualified applicants; please contact the Financial Aid Office for details.
