California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI) opened in 2002 as the newest campus in the California State University system.

Indeed, U.S. News & World Report listed CSUCI as 20th among “Top Public Schools” in its 2021 edition of Best Colleges Rankings. In 2020, CollegeNET also ranked CSUCI 20th out of over 1,449 schools in its “Social Mobility Index,” and Money Magazine rated CSUCI as the 15th “Most Transformative College” in the nation.

Approximately 55% of CSUCI’s students are Pell Grant eligible, and approximately 62% are first-generation college students.

In 2019, CSUCI was awarded Excelencia in Education’s inaugural “Seal of Excelencia” for its facilitation of Latinx student success.

CSUCI is committed to diversifying its faculty in order to address students’ ever-changing needs in the 21st century. The University is also taking steps to confront racism and to advocate for social justice. To this end, CSUCI encourages applicants to apply who are motivated to serve and contribute to the university’s tenure-track body, which self-identifies as 62% White, 21% Latinx, 9% Asian/Asian American, and 2% Black/African American.

About the Program: 

The School of Education builds from the foundations of the undergraduate Liberal Studies option in Teaching & Learning, the undergraduate Early Childhood Studies program, and academic majors in biology, English, mathematics, history, and social studies, and extends to the Master of Arts in Education. SOE’s programs contribute to the education profession by producing teachers and school administrators who believe that all students have the ability to achieve high standards, who adapt their teaching to reach all students and who embrace the diversity of all students. These graduates are reflective about their teaching, their attitudes, and their ability to work in collaborative analytical teams. SOE strives to prepare educators to uplift, inspire, and engage all students, families, and communities with whom they work and works to advance issues of equity, diversity, inclusion, and teaching/educating for justice.

SOE has approximately 15 full-time faculty, 55 part-time faculty, 14 staff, and over 600 students. Undergraduate degree programs are offered in Early Childhood Studies and Liberal Studies with emphases in Teaching and Learning and Concentrated Studies. The accredited post-baccalaureate credential programs prepare students to be elementary, secondary, and/or special education teachers with an option to earn a bilingual authorization. SOE has partnerships and MOUs with many local school districts for field placements and is engaged in residency and co-teaching models for student teaching in many of the credential programs.

SOE currently offers two master’s degrees: an MA in Educational Leadership with emphases in P-12 and Higher Education and an MA in Education with emphases in Curriculum and Instruction and Disability Studies. Licensure for the school administrator’s credential is offered with courses closely aligned to the P-12 emphasis in the MA in Educational Leadership. A Credential Office, Field Placement Office, Graduate Studies Center, and the California Physical Education Health Project currently report to the Dean of the School of Education.

The School of Education is actively involved in sponsored research and activities and manages federal, state, and system grants. Funding sources and activities include: the Bechtel Foundation, Early Assessment Program, California Teachers Summit, Math and Science Teacher Initiative, Federal TEACH grants, Chancellor’s Doctorate Initiative Program, and the Sally Casanova Pre-Doctoral Program. The School is accredited by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
