Credential Program Portfolio: Tri-Placement Program

Recognized as one of the University's Centers for Excellence, the Tri-Placement Program is an award winning program of teacher preparation.

Developed in 1976 as an alternative professional preparation model, this program was initially based on the Hooker Oak Elementary School campus and has evolved to its present structure in conjunction with standards mandated by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing and in accordance with SB2042 legislation. It is a fully approved program.

The Tri-Placement Program is one of two programs within the School of Education through which candidates can earn a Multiple and Single Subject Credential within one academic year.
