Welcome to San Diego State University. SDSU is the largest university in San Diego and the third largest in California. Our campus community is home to more than 34,000 students and approximately 6,400 faculty and staff.

At San Diego State University, faculty, staff, students and community partners come together to pursue knowledge and meet the challenges of our region and our world. The educational process is not confined to classrooms and laboratories. It flows seamlessly wherever faculty and students come together—in traditional campus settings, in the community and in the international arena. Faculty members exemplify the integrated role of teacher/scholar, enabling students to learn through both interaction and participation in ongoing research efforts and community-based learning projects. This pedagogical approach allows students to apply classroom learning to real-world challenges. San Diego State's reputation for academic excellence and practical problem-solving inspires the confidence of community leaders, who look to SDSU for ideas and solutions.

San Diego State is characterized by rapid change, increasing levels of student achievement and exceptional faculty and staff. We are an intellectual community committed to the ideals of diversity and dedicated to human growth and development. All of these attributes make San Diego State a vital university serving the community with “minds that move the world.”

I am privileged to serve as president of a university known for its academic excellence, community engagement and entrepreneurial spirit.

Stephen L. Weber, President
San Diego State University
