Established in 1897, San Diego State University and the College of Education have been committed to excellence in the preparation of educators for more than a century. San Diego State University is an academically rich, urban university that provides endless possibilities for students. SDSU offers bachelor's degrees in 81 areas, master's degrees in 72, one educational specialist degree (Ed.S.), research doctorates (Ph.D./Ed.D.) in 14 areas, and one professional doctorate (Au.D.). San Diego State University has an enrollment of nearly 34,000 undergraduate and graduate students.
The College of Education is one of seven colleges within the University. It is the major teacher education institution for San Diego and Imperial Counties, preparing half of the area's teachers. The College offers graduate study leading to the Master of Arts in Education degree with concentrations in counseling, educational leadership, educational research, educational technology, elementary and secondary curriculum and instruction, reading, special education, and policy studies in language and cross-cultural education. Each year more than 1,000 students complete credential or masters degree programs through the College of Education. In a typical year, ten graduates will be awarded the Ph.D. in Education through the SDSU/CGU Joint Doctoral Program.

Comprehensive, independent, devoted entirely to graduate study, and a member of The Claremont Colleges consortium, Claremont Graduate University, located about 35 miles east of Los Angeles, is unique. Founded as The Claremont Graduate School in 1925, CGU has achieved a reputation for excellence in art, education, the humanities and the social sciences. Today, CGU's 2000 full and part-time students are enrolled in degree programs in nineteen different fields. Most of these programs lead to the Ph.D. degree.
The School of Educational Studies offers opportunities to pursue advanced work culminating in the doctor of philosophy and master of arts degrees, as well as the teaching credential and the professional administrative credential. Masters and doctoral programs in the Center are designed to offer students considerable freedom in shaping a curriculum suited to their particular needs. Interdisciplinary study is encouraged, and students may take some of their course work in academic fields outside of education. Today, more than 100 of the Center's graduates are professors in universities and colleges, and many are distinguishing themselves as college presidents and school superintendents.
