Our mission is to amplify and invest in transformative, multidisciplinary research, scholarship and creative activities and to fortify San Diego State University as a premier community-engaged and border-connected public research university where excellence and access converge. SDSU is the flagship research institution of the 23-campus California State University system - the nation's largest and most diverse four-year public university. With more than $164 million in research expenditures and award-winning entrepreneurship education programs, we shape future academic and business leaders. Together with the San Diego State University Research Foundation, we facilitate funding, infrastructure and training for faculty, staff and students to conduct their research, scholarship, and creative activities.
