Welcome

The Department of Special Education at San Francisco State University offers programs that prepare special educators to enter professional practice in today’s increasingly multicultural and multilingual society. Candidates seeking careers in programs for people with disabilities in schools, clinics, hospitals and community agencies will find a range of options at SFSU.

Message from the Chairperson, Dr. Yvonne Bui

The Department of Special Education and SFSU are complying with the SF Mayor’s order to shelter in place until to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 within our communities. Starting on March 16 through the end of the Spring 2020 semester, we will be providing instructional continuity through an online platform. There will be no SPED courses held on campus for the rest of the semester. Students should stay in regular communication with their course instructors and faculty advisors about how to access the online instruction. The SFSU campus will be closed until April 7, 2020 with the exception of the Library Research Commons, which will allow limited student access to computers and technology.
