Program of Study
The Supplementary Authorization in Computer Science credential provides a pathway for under-training and in-service teachers with necessary knowledge and skills to gain Supplementary Authorization and teach computer science in K-9, K-12, and adult classes.
In 2016, the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) approved a Supplementary Authorization in Computer Science.
There are two tracks of Supplementary Authorization in Computer Science:
- The Introductory Supplementary Authorization in Computer Science focuses on the teaching of computer science classes in grades K-9.
- The Specific Supplementary Authorization in Computer Science supports teaching of computer science classes in grades K-12 and adult classes.
These credentials are awarded and administered through the CTC.

Students need to meet the below requirements to apply for the authorization from the CTC:
- Successful completion of ten (10) (Introductory Supplementary Authorization in Computer Science) or thirteen (13) (Specific Supplementary Authorization in Computer Science) units, with a grade of C (2.0) or better.
- Bachelor’s degree or higher from an accredited institution
- One of the following valid, unexpired, California Teaching credentials: Multiple Subject, Single Subject, Standard Elementary, Standard Secondary, Special Secondary
