Earn a history degree certified for teachers

Cal Lutheran is one of few liberal arts institutions in California with a Single Subject Matter Program (SSMP) in history that’s approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. This means you’ll have the unique opportunity to earn a history degree certified for teachers, while also getting to explore complementary subjects like the arts and political science.
