San Francisco State University

San Francisco State University is pleased to offer upper division and graduate classes at Cañada College in Business Administration and the Child and Adolescent Development (CAD) program as well as graduate courses in Teacher Credential Programs for elementary and secondary school teachers. The Business Administration and CAD programs provide students who have an AA degree the opportunity to graduate with a BA by taking classes at Cañada. Through the Teacher Credential Programs, graduate students have the ability to continue teaching in the daytime and take classes in the evening to complete their certification. See also http://www.sfsu.edu/~apd/canada.htm for more information.

Business Administration

The undergraduate program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration includes a broad based education in general studies (natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and arts), general business administration, and specialization in one or more of 14 areas. A core group of courses provides all business students a general background in business administration: including accounting, economics, finance, management, marketing; plus math and statistics along with business computer technology. Most classes are small enough to enable a personal relationship between students and their professors that greatly aids the learning process.

Child and Adolescent Development

The Child and Adolescent Development degree is an interdisciplinary, cross-professional undergraduate degree for students interested in studying and working with issues related to children, adolescents, and families. It is designed for breadth of knowledge about child and adolescent development and its applications to services for children and families, research, and public policy development.
