- This TMC has been designed to meet the introductory content area subject matter requirements for teaching at the elementary school level. Careful consideration was given to identify a specific match to Cal-GETC requirements.
- Course requirements for Integrated Teacher Education programs/major may vary at each CSU campus. It is highly recommended that counselors at community colleges discuss other possible courses that are part of major preparation and encourage students to take these additional courses prior to transfer.

Students planning to transfer to a four-year college or university should complete courses specific to the transfer institution of choice. University requirements vary from institution to institution and are subject to change. Therefore, it is important to verify transfer major preparation and general education requirements through consultation with a counselor in either the Counseling Center or Career and Transfer Connections.
