Transfer Students, READ THIS!
If you are thinking about transferring to SJSU to be a Math ITEP major (or if you recently transferred to SJSU), please contact the program coordinator, Ferdie Rivera: ferdinand.rivera@sjsu.edu
Please explain which semester you will begin your coursework at SJSU and give some brief background about you including:
the school you transferred from (or the community college you are currently at before you transfer)
explain briefly your reason for why you are interested in the ITEP math program
explain which math courses you have completed towards the degree. (Attaching an unofficial transcript would be helpful if you have that, if not, no worries. Email us anyway.)
your SJSU ID (if you have already been accepted to SJSU and gotten this)
This will help us assist you right away! We want to be able to advise you in planning your pathway through our program as early as possible.

We have a Canvas page for the ITEP program that includes tons of information about the program. If you are an SJSU student and declared a math ITEP major, contact Ferdie Rivera (ferdinand.rivera@sjsu.edu) to be added to the ITEP Canvas page. The Canvas page includes:
Information about the 4-year plan to complete the ITEP Math degree
Information on how to apply for admittance to year 3 and 4 in the program
Information about the $10,000 annual Noyce Scholarships available to ITEP math students.
Requirements for applying for your preliminary single subject teaching credential
Information about obtaining a substitute teaching permit
Sophomores and transfer students that plan to begin year 3 coursework in the ITEP program in fall 2023, must contact Ferdie Rivera (ferdinand.rivera@sjsu.edu) to start the application process and do the formal interview.
