Answer 1 :
Depends on which school you attend in CA. The out of state tuition is going to kill you, or send you screaming back to Michigan.
Answer 2 :
It depends on which school you go to but most colleges have higher tuition rates for out of state students. To find this info out when you are googling for colleges/universities in California, click on the tuition & fees link and most of the time the out of state rates will be posted. If not call, or send an email and ask. Good luck!!

Answer 1 :
Dude, any of them.
Answer 2 :
I don't know about the second question, but Sacramento State is supposed to have a fantastic school of education.
Answer 3 :
I'm from CA and went to CSU, Sacramento for my undergrad and some teaching classes and an alternative program for my credential (Project Pipeline). My experiences: CSUS: Good. Not great, but overall good. I had 4 classes and a good experience. Project Pipeline: Utter crap. Seriously. The pro was that there wasn't much work to do at all. The con was that I had to spend every other Friday night and Saturday in their classrooms learning about NOTHING and wasting time. Horrid program- wouldn't ever recommend. What I've heard from friends I teach with: SJSU: Decent, but a TON of work. You'll work your butt off reflecting like crazy for your credential. National University: Friend said it was good, but very expensive.
Answer 4 :
Cal Poly San Luis Obispo has an excellent program...but hard to get into. Need a good GPA and SAT's. I went there and they really try to prepare you for teaching. You are doing a lot of work in actual classrooms long before your student teaching. They have a 5 yr program that graduates you with your Liberal Studies degree and your crendential. To get your credential you need to complete the classes and do 2 semesters of student teaching.
Answer 5 :
California Baptist University Steps: Get your Bachelor's Degree (4yr degree) Take the classes to get your teaching credential for K-6 (about a year's worth of classes unless you start them before graduating with a Bachelor's) Take the state exams that also are required to earn a credential - here in California they are the CBEST, RICA, and C-SET Student Teach at an elementary school After student teaching you earn your teaching credential and go out and look for a job

Which college in California provides the best teaching in an education major?
I'm thinking about the UCs but they all seem the same because none really go in depth into their schools of education, or I didn't do enough research. Which college in California has the most nationally recognized teaching for an education major?

Answer 1 :
Your looking at it the wrong way. Make a list of colleges in California that you would like to go to and that you could afford. (Also keep in mind if you get largely in debt teachers don't make much at all so you will struggle to pay bills and support yourself in the futer), which means make sure the college is cheaper. Once you have this list made then you can further look into the school to see how well they rate. (And generally, it won'y matter how well the college is know for the education related teaching because your future employer will not know this information and frankly, they won't care. As long as you passed the required classes with a decent grade and met all of the requirements, that that is all you need.
