Dean's Welcome

Greetings from the University of San Francisco School of Education!

If you are thinking of furthering your higher education, the USF School of Education has wonderful and unique assets to offer:

Quality education--Academic rigor and scholarly excellence have been USF’s trademarks since 1855.

Commitment to diversity and social justice--Many classes combine theoretical knowledge with practical application of that knowledge, and some even include outreach activities.   

Convenient schedule--Many of our classes are taught in the late afternoon, evenings or on Saturdays to accommodate those of you who are working professionals or have busy lives.

Supportive and personalized environment--Thanks to small classes, dedicated faculty who are available to students, caring staff, and a number of University services, we are committed to your success.

Incomparable San Francisco setting--Our very diverse San Francisco Bay Area community, where cultural and artistic events abound, is bound to stimulate your own creativity and desire to learn.

Your decision to continue your studies indicates a passion for learning that we share. For this reason, we encourage you to come and join our vibrant learning community!

If you have any questions or need more information about our programs, please do not hesitate to contact our Coordinator of Marketing and Recruitment at (415) 422-5467, or the Dean’s Office at (415) 422-6525.
