SF State Scholars (Blended Bachelor's + Master's + Credential) Programs

The San Francisco State Scholars program provides undergraduate students with an accelerated pathway to a graduate degree and credential. Students in the Special Education SF State Scholars programs pursue a bachelor’s degree, master’s degree, and credential simultaneously. This program allows students to earn graduate credit while in their junior and/or senior years, reducing the number of semesters required for completion of a master’s degree. For students in this blended program, up to 12 semester units may be double counted for both the Bachelor’s degree and the Master’s degree.

The Department of Special Education (SPED) currently has joint SF State Scholars programs with the Department of Child & Adolescent Development (CAD).
