Hi Graduate Prospective student,
We have recently revamped the Pedagogy Masters degree program for K-12 Teachers and Coaches! We believe this will be the shortest, least expensive, and most viable Masters program available.
1- California residents will pay in-state tuition.
2- Students may apply up to 12 post baccalaureate credits towards the total of 36 units for the degree (e.g., CSULB courses: EDSE 435, EDSE 436, EDSE 457, EDSS 450p, EDSS 473). Students who graduated from other programs may be able to substitute different post baccalaureate courses.
3- Students receive preparation for National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Certification.
4- Classes are conveniently scheduled over a 24 month period.
Program Plan: Master of Arts in Kinesiology: Option Pedagogical Studies (36 units):
Students may apply up to 12 elective units from the CSULB Teacher Certification program towards the M.A. See list of courses below. Students who graduated from other Teacher Certification programs may substitute other post baccalaureate courses.

The two courses that are offered each term meet on the same night of the week from 6-10 PM (Tuesdays). The first course meets for eight weeks with an additional two Saturday sessions scheduled in order to bring the total instruction time to 45 hours. The second course meets for the 2nd eight weeks of the semester with an additional two Saturday sessions scheduled to bring the total instruction time to 45 hours. Classes are offered on a rotating year basis so the group entering the program in Fall, 2011 will start with the Year 1 courses and then take the Year 2 courses the next year (i.e., students starting in Fall, 2012 will reverse the order, taking the Year 2 courses the first year and the Year 1 courses the following year).
"This program has been created with the needs of physical education teachers and coaches in mind." Joan Van Blom, Physical Education Curriculum Leader and National Board Certified Teacher, Long Beach Unified School District
"I thoroughly enjoyed my experience in the Pedagogy Masters program. The instructors were excellent." Dan Latham, Physical Education Teacher at Warren High School, Downey School District and CAHPERD President (2010-11).
