The School Health Concentration is the appropriate choice for all students who want to teach health science in schools. It meets the requirements for secondary level subject matter competency in health science. Students wishing to be recommended for a single subject teaching credential in Health Science must complete the requirements for this concentration as well as certain prerequisites to the teacher education program. For information about the professional education component, admission to the teacher education program, or specific requirements for the single subject waiver program see page 152 in the CSUSB Bulletin or contact the Credentials Office (C.A.S.E.).
