You are likely to have many questions about the field of teaching. We invite all currently enrolled UCLA students to visit us at the UCLA Cal Teach office, located in 1039 Young Hall. You are invited to come investigate the various pathways to teaching, the scholarships and financial aid available, and to find out about exciting possibilities on ways to become involved. Please contact us at cateach@chem.ucla.edu to schedule a meeting. If you are interested in exploring or pursuing a math teaching credential, you may also contact Julian Rojas at rojas@math.ucla.edu for advising.

Note that if you are interested in UCLA's Graduate School of Education's Teacher Education Program (teaching credential and/or master degree in education), please contact their credential counselor.
