ABOUT SDSU
Founded in 1897, San Diego State University is a public institution of higher education in southern California. Part of the 23-campus California State University system, SDSU is one of the largest universities in the state with more than 34,000 students.
SDSU continues to gain recognition as a leader in higher education. We are among the top 70 public universities in the country, according to U.S. News & World Report's annual ranking of America's Best Colleges.
OUR CAMPUS SDSU acknowledges the Kumeyaay peoples as the traditional caretakers of the land on which SDSU now sits and its surrounding areas. Ranked No. 8 on Cosmopolitan's list of Most Beautiful College Campuses, SDSU's campus is a lively mix of historical and state-ofthe-art buildings spread over 280 acres of lushly landscaped grounds. Although the campus is large, you can walk across campus in just 20 minutes. SDSU is northeast of downtown San Diego, just off Interstate 8 and conveniently located along the San Diego Trolley.
VISIT SDSU VIRTUALLY We look forward to welcoming you to our campus as soon as circumstances allow campus tours to resume. In the meantime, we look forward to meeting you virtually. Review sdsu.edu/virtualvisits and connect with us. Take a virtual tour any time at sdsu.edu/virtualtour. 1

SAN DIEGO
The second largest city in California, San Diego is a thriving cultural, scientific, and educational center. Our proximity to the Pacific Rim and Mexico and our diverse regional population provide opportunities for valuable work and learning experiences.
Known for its near-perfect climate, miles of sandy beaches, and fun-filled waterfront activities, our region is home to a wide range of industries, from engineering and biotechnology to agriculture and tourism. The hustle and bustle of the Gaslamp Quarter and downtown neighborhoods is complemented by the charming and eclectic beach towns of Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, and La Jolla.
With all the amenities for living, working, and playing, it's no wonder San Diego is nicknamed "America's Finest City!" Learn more about San Diego at .
