General Objectives
The School offers certificate, master's, and doctoral
programs in seven areas: Counseling Psychology, International and
Multicultural Education, Learning and Instruction, Organization and
Leadership, Catholic Educational Leadership, Teacher Education, and
Educational Technology. Many of the School's masters and credential
programs are also offered at a number of regional Campuses throughout
the greater Bay Area.
All activities of the School seek to link instruction,
research, and service in a manner which reflects the intellectual,
ethical, and service traditions of a Jesuit institution: to honor
education as an instrument for the full growth of individuals, and to
commit to further standards of excellence in academic and service
programs. The pervading philosophy implicit in the School's planning
and developing efforts affirms hope in the human effort to achieve a
better society and demonstrates a commitment to ameliorate social
conditions that are obstacles to justice for all.
The School of Education attracts experienced professionals
who wish to acquire new skills and to enhance their leadership
capabilities. Most courses are taught on weekday evenings and
Saturdays. The scheduling of courses meets most students' needs and
reinforces the School's commitment to use student experiences as a
resource for learning. Many of our Master's and Doctoral degree
programs are designed specifically for students seeking credentials or
licensure in a wide array of teaching, counseling psychology, and school
administration areas. The School is particularly committed to
providing programs responsive to the needs of the racially, ethically,
and linguistically diverse population of the San Francisco Bay Area,
though its interest extends beyond this region. This commitment is
reflected in programs that prepare students to assume leadership roles
in public, private and independent schools, colleges and universities,
mental health and counseling centers, human service and government
agencies, and corporations.
Careers
Students may begin work concurrently on their Master of Arts
in Teaching (M.A.T.) and a preliminary basic credential program while
pursuing their bachelor's degree (Dual Degree) in the liberal arts and
sciences (collaborative program between the School of Education and the
College of Arts and Sciences). The Teacher Education program encourages
applicants to contact its program office prior to pursuing this option.
Many of the School's students are working professionals who
wish to acquire new skills and enhance their leadership capabilities by
enrolling in credential and/or degree programs. These students prepare
to serve in a variety of roles such as teachers, curriculum developers
and supervisors, administrators, counselors, therapists, private
consultants, and as business managers and trainers. Special facilities
within the School of Education - the Center for Instruction and
Technology, the Institute for Catholic Educational Leadership and the
Center for Child and Family Development - complement the academic
curriculum by providing research and fieldwork settings for the
development of specific skills and evaluation techniques. They also
enhance students' career opportunities.
