The Chico State School of Education offers a post baccalaureate fully-online Preliminary Administrative Services Credential (PASC) for education professionals seeking a career as a public school administrator.

The PASC Program provides the foundations of educational leadership necessary to qualify for a Clear California Administrative Services Credential granted through the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC). With the preliminary administrative credential you can serve as an assistant superintendent, principal, assistant principal, supervisor, coordinator, or other equivalent level administrator in California public schools.

The 2022/23 cohort begins July 7.

The program is fully online and cohort-based. The program's four, six-unit online courses have been designed to form a developmental sequence of learning. In each course candidates engage with each of the six California Educational Leadership Domains that lead to the California Administrator Performance Expectations (CAPE). The PASC Program Coordinator is responsible for the courses, however, K-12 administrators and university faculty work together to teach class sessions.

Course dates and the days & times of live-online class meetings are listed on the Schedule & Registration page.
