A TEACHING CREDENTIAL...DON'T LEAVE SSU WITHOUT ONE!

Current SSU students who will complete their undergraduate degrees in Fall 2009 and are planning to become teachers can transition into an SSU credential program in Spring 2010. These students should apply to the School of Education for admission and complete all admission requirements, including the completion of the graduate application through www.csumentor.edu
