Clinical Experiences and Partnerships Office

Welcome to the webpage of The Clinical Experiences and Partnerships Office (CEPO). We offer one-on-one support for prospective and current students in Early Childhood Studies, Liberal Studies, Credential Programs (Multiple Subject, Single Subject, and Education Specialist), and Graduate Programs in Education.

Our counselors, staff and faculty are here to answer any questions you may have about admission and program requirements for credentials and graduate programs.

CBEST and CSET Requirements Update!

The California Legislature has recently approved new ways to meet the Basic Skills (CBEST) and Subject Matter (CSET) Requirements through coursework! The School of Education is excited to implement these new opportunities for our students to meet these requirements. It will take some time for us to get information and develop this new process, but we encourage you to check back to this page and our social media pages for future updates in the upcoming weeks!

We look forward to supporting you in your educational journey.
