Teach-Out Plan

UCSC assures that MA/Credential students will have the opportunity to complete their studies in the event of a program closure. While there are no plans to close the UCSC MA/Credential Program, we have created the following plan.

The UCSC MA/C Program is of 12-months duration with only a single point of entry in July. The teach out plan is as follows:

1. The current cohort will complete the program.
2. In the event that there are students who do not complete the program during its final year and wish to return the following year, necessary courses will be offered online via the UCSC extension, and field supervision will be arranged to complete the field placement requirements, or
3. An agreement will be sought with a nearby campus (e.g. Cal State Monterey Bay, San Jose State University, UC Berkeley) of students' choosing to allow students to complete remaining requirements at their site. Agreements will ensure equitable treatment of candidates with remaining coursework and/or fieldwork requirements upon program closure.
