About the University:

California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI) opened in 2002 as the newest campus in the California State University system. Since that time, the University has grown and developed into one of the premier public universities, not only in the California State University system, but also in the nation. 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.

CSUCI is a public comprehensive university that engages students in critical inquiry and is dedicated to educating leaders for a global society. The University is located in Ventura County and is home to more than 5,470 undergraduate and 170graduate students. Approximately 55% of CSUCI's students are Pell Grant eligible, and approximately 62% are first-generation college students. CSUCI is also proud to be designated as a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI), with 55% of its undergraduate students self-identifying as Latinx, 25% as White, 6% as Asian/Asian American, 4% as multiracial, and 2% as Black/African American. In 2019, CSUCI was awarded Excelencia in Education's inaugural “Seal of Excelencia” for its facilitation of Latinx student success. Also, in 2022, CI became the first college to earn the Seal of Excelencia recertification.

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.

CSUCI Mission Statement:

Placing students at the center of the educational experience, California State University Channel Islands provides undergraduate and graduate education that facilitates learning within and across disciplines through integrative approaches, emphasizes experiential and service learning, and graduates students with multicultural and international perspectives.

CSUCI's Commitment to You:

CSUCI is committed to helping newly hired faculty develop a sense of belonging in a collaborative and supportive community dedicated to providing resources and opportunities for establishing and sustaining a research agenda and engaging in continuous improvement in equitable teaching and learning.

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.

  • Diversity is a defining feature of California's past, present, and future. Increasing the diversity of our educators to better reflect the population of California is just one aspect of the School of Education's dedication to just, equitable and inclusive education. Diversity refers to the variety of personal experiences, values, and worldviews that arise from differences of culture and circumstance. Such differences include race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, language, abilities/disabilities, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, geographic region, and more.

    All School of Education students leave with a perspective that recognizes, honors, and respects the knowledge and strengths all learners bring from their communities and identities. School of Education students use this perspective to make community-based assets an integral component of curricular and pedagogical development to enhance academic success. In this way, our students learn to value and draw upon students' backgrounds not only to support them in developing skills leading to success in the broader society, but also as a mechanism to transform our schools and communities. We believe that all faculty and staff who work for the SOE must share these same commitments.
