About the School of Education
Message from the Associate Dean.
Welcome to the School of Education at CSU San Marcos. I invite you to explore the various programs we offer, including a wide range of credentials, several Masters degree options and our Ed.D. in Educational Leadership in partnership with UC San Diego. All of our programs are guided by our mission and core values that focus on efforts to transform public schools so that all students achieve educational success.
We have outstanding faculty and staff as well as robust partnerships with local schools and community agencies. Faculty members actively engage in research agendas that keep them connected to local public schools. Feedback from our graduates indicate our faculty members use their applied research to inform their classroom teaching. Our local school partnerships afford us unique opportunities to enhance teacher and educational leadership preparation in ways that directly impact student learning.
Our graduates are highly sought after by regional districts. We have an outstanding reputation for preparing highly qualified, dynamic and dedicated public school teachers and educational leaders. Our alumni are employed in successful careers throughout the region and the state.
I appreciate your interest in the educational profession and in the School of Education. I invite you to explore our site to learn more about the range of programs offered. Please stop in and visit our Student Services Center (University Hall, 2nd floor) and learn more about how we can serve your needs.
