Our innovative SAGE in Teacher Education programs create opportunities for SJSU undergraduate students to enroll in Credential and Masters programs while simultaneously completing their final three semesters of their undergraduate degrees. These programs offer SAGE scholars a combined pathway of theory, practice, and K-12 subject matter. The programs integrate these three legs of teaching early and often, and give scholars ample time to assimilate the linkages prior to when they are required to demonstrate understanding and skills through student teaching.

Benefits of Enrolling in a SAGE Program

• Reduced economic barriers to entering into a graduate program
• No application fee for graduate program
• Fewer total units in combined SAGE program than completing each program separately
• Shorter timeline to earning credential and master’s degree
• Enhanced professional development
