The primary mission of the Career and Technical Teacher Education Programs at California State University, San Bernardino is to prepare individuals who have proven skills and abilities in technical, vocational, occupational or professional specialties, to become effective, successful instructors in their own areas of expertise. We strive to develop both instructional skills and leadership potential, to promote high standards of professionalism and to insure that a broad range of educational opportunities are made available to all students interested in pursuing those opportunities. To these ends, we offer course work in four program areas:
