Mount Saint Mary s University accepts a maximum of 70 transferable community college units that may be applied toward the units required for a baccalaureate degree. This Agreement contains three sections: Section I - lists relevant information about MSMU General Studies Requirements. The General Studies requirements at MSMU include five areas: Communication Skills; Critical Thinking; Arts & Sciences; Modern Language, and Religious Studies and Philosophy. Listed under each area are equivalent courses offered at San Diego Mesa College.

The Mount Saint Mary s University Elementary Teacher Preparation Program is a California Commission on Teacher Credentialing-approved program for the preparation of students for the Preliminary Multiple Subject Teaching Credential as defined by SB 2042. Students considering transferring to Mount Saint Mary s University are encouraged to retain copies of syllabi and course assignments. A Liberal Studies Portfolio documenting the study of each of the above listed subject areas is required for the major.

A passing score on CBEST at entry to Mount Saint Mary s University is required for students intending to apply for supervised teaching in the eighth semester of college study (or the fourth semester of study at MSMU). Other MSMU Education Department requirements must also be met before enrolling in supervised teaching. Contact the Liberal Studies Coordinator for additional information, 213-477-2628. California Credential requirements are subject to change pending direction from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC). These changes take precedence over the MSMU catalog, as well as any other MSMU information.
