Our college continues the proud legacy of San Francisco State University, which began as the Normal School for Teachers in 1899. SF State has always been an innovator in education, and our programs continue this tradition by providing multiple pathways for future educators to provide lifelong learning to the community.
Our programs have a deep impact. For the past 100 years, we have provided the lion's share of primary and secondary education teachers to schools in our three service counties — San Francisco, Marin, and San Mateo. The vast majority of educators in San Francisco and San Mateo Counties who support students with speech, auditory, or language disabilities have degrees or credentials from San Francisco State University.
Donating to SF State's Graduate School of Education is an investment in our entire community. Our commitment to diversity, expertise in non-traditional education, and education-for-all ethos ensure the health of our students, their families, and beyond.
