Noyce Science Scholars Program
The Noyce Science Scholars Program aims to recruit strong science and engineering majors into teaching, and support them in becoming effective science teachers for students from diverse backgrounds. We do this through participation in SDSU’s single subject credential program and through experiences that continue after teachers begin full-time teaching.
Crash Course
The Crash Course Program allows SDSU students interested in the teaching profession to spend a week with a middle or high school science teacher and see what it's like to be back in the classroom!
