    Our Commitment

    Guided by our core values as a university: diversity, sustainability, community engagement, and adaptability, Sonoma State University (SSU) offers an education that fosters intellectual, social, and personal growth. SSU is a public liberal arts and sciences university. As the only member of the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges in the state of California, we are committed to preparing students for a life of active citizenship and public service. We have a vibrant campus life characterized by a lively co-curriculum that fosters broad based intellectual and artistic opportunities in which the campus as a whole is actively engaged. Faculty members are committed to facilitating spaces in which all can grow by building on our scholars’ assets as they explore new knowledge. These efforts include fostering creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, experimentation, empathy, and communication. We strive to create a diverse, equity-minded, and inclusive campus environment. Faculty are expected to collaborate thoughtfully with our staff and scholars, which means we value the full range of everyone's assets in terms of languages, abilities, cultures, and ways of knowing. We are fully committed to the rights of scholars, staff, and faculty. We are especially interested in candidates who are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion.

    The University

    Sonoma State University’s beautiful 274-acre campus is located in Sonoma County wine country, an hour north of San Francisco. The campus offers the ideal setting for teaching and learning and access to a community of rich cultural, environmental, and recreational opportunities. Founded in 1960, SSU is one of the 23 campuses of the California State University System. As members of the largest public higher educational system in the nation, we provide accessible, high-quality education. Sonoma State University is a federally-designated Hispanic Serving Institution, as such we are committed to achieving the goals of equal opportunity and endeavors to employ faculty and staff reflecting the linguistic, ethnic, and cultural diversity of the region and state.

    The Department

    The Curriculum Studies & Secondary Education (CSSE) Department houses the Single Subject Credential Program and the Master of Arts in Education degree program with a Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning (or CTL) Concentration. The Single Subject Credential Program authorizes the holder to teach a specific subject in a school organized by academic disciplines, kindergarten through grade 12. Since most elementary schools are not departmentalized, this credential, in general, is appropriate for the middle/junior high school and high school (art, music, and physical education candidates may teach K-12). The program aims toward two primary goals: (1) to develop the skills and knowledge needed to be an effective beginning teacher, and (2) to establish the professional understandings and attitudes for growth and development throughout a teaching career. The Master of Arts in Education degree program with a Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning (or CTL) Concentration offers courses of graduate study to prepare candidates for specialized teaching and for curriculum and instructional leadership responsibilities in schools, government agencies, or corporate settings. The program, a minimum of 30 units, provides for areas of concentration in curriculum, teaching, and learning. The Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning concentration provides flexibility in program development for a wide range of professional educators, government officials, and private sector employees. Candidates need not possess a teaching credential.
