Certificate in Immigrant Literacies

San Francisco State University

The Certificate in Immigrant Literacies is designed to provide academic training in the study of language, literacies, and the immigrant experience. The program integrates community service learning to enable certificate students to integrate their professional expertise and cross-disciplinary thinking with meaningful civic action. The Certificate in Immigrant Literacies represents an innovative graduate-level program for pre-service and in-service professionals who wish to combine the cross-disciplinary study of language, literacies, and the immigrant experience with community service learning. The Certificate program primarily targets matriculated graduate students preparing for careers in adult ESOL (English to Speakers of Other Languages), health, community development, and other careers that serve the needs of immigrant groups, as well as professionals who are already working in these careers.
