The Education (M.A.) at UC Davis School of Education is typically offered in combination with a teaching credential, allowing candidates to complete both the MA and either a Multiple Subject or Single Subject Credential. Candidates are immersed in practical classroom settings while also completing rigorous coursework that bridges education theory and research. Students may pursue additional preparation for bilingual authorization in Spanish or Mandarin. The general track M.A. is designed for those aiming to conduct educational research and assume leadership roles in educational policy and practice. As of 2025, admissions to the Master of Arts in Education General Track are currently suspended while the faculty review the curriculum, but the integrated Teaching Credential/M.A. pathway remains available.
