Dance Teaching Credential

CSUN offers the California Preliminary Single-Subject Dance Credential. This credential authorizes the teaching of dance in grades K-12.

All Single Subject Credentials include an English Learner-ELAS level, which allows the holder to teach English learners in their subject-matter classrooms. For authorizations to teach in English Language Development (ELD), English as Second Language (ESL), or bilingual classrooms, please see our Bilingual Authorization and CTEL/CLAD Certificate Programs.
