CalStateTEACH Monterey Bay

I agree … this is an online program that places you in a live classroom the first day. You would think «cal state» programs would be great, just because of the CSU association. It has some good points and great material. But if you get a horrible class teacher, your out of luck because you only see your course advisor four times, everything else is reading by yourself at home, and sitting in somebody’s classroom.
The first course advisor I had was running for local office, didn’t return my calls, basically an empty seat and totally useless, and when I reported her, the Director told me I have to follow what she says because of their policy, and be more self-​motivated (translaton: teach yourself and tolerate whatever we throw at you). Although I have a great advisor now. They messed up my hours, sent me to the wrong places, and worst of all, didn’t believe me. Save your money, go to a better program.

Poorly run online credential program. Over burdened staff that don’t know their students very personally. Expensive for the education received. In short: find a different program for your California credential!
